Since the only vague summaries are being widely reported and the details are going to matter to many people here, this is where the full text of yesterday’s executive order redefining gender and sex may be found.
Warning: It is worded to be cruel and dehumanizing. If you feel you need to read it, have loved ones and self care prepared to support you.
2 days in and I’m ready to move out of my house since I live with my MAGA mother-in-law, she defends shit like this while my daughter and another of her grandkids are transitioning, I’m through.
Just remind her, according to Trump, we’re all NB now…since none of us could make either large or small reproductive cells at conception.
That was milder than I expected.
TLDR: it makes clear the distinction between sex and gender, and wants official operations, including assignments of “intimate” spaces to be based on sex, not gender.
His argument for this is that men have been attacking women by using their gender identity to access women’s spaces. The extent of the issue was not mentioned.
My take: why not just remove gender and sex from official operations entirely? With some nuance, only your doctor should care.

That’s not mild. That’s going to kill people
I suppose I could’ve said that better. I expected a lot worse, it’s milder than I expected
Well said, Ada.
It gags me that they pretend to justify this as “defense of women” when we all know how little they care about the lives and safety of women. Also I guess now transmen will be expected to use the Ladies Room, I’m sure the pearl-clutchers will be delighted with that. And the transwomen should feel incredibly safe using the Men’s Room.

It’s a bullshit reason. A rapist isn’t going to say, “Welp, I’m not legally allowed in there, so no rape for me today.”
Ah dang, public bathrooms are the #1 choice for that! It’s the bad hygiene and high risk of getting caught of course
It also implies that if a cis woman attacked a cis woman they wouldn’t be able to do anything about it
No it does not, it doesn’t even go into that issue. Assault will still be assault and the law should be enforced as such.
If they believe that, why do they bother with the bathroom segregation? Why not just treat all cases of assault the same and ignore the segregation? (I would like this)
The bathroom segregation here is go prevent endangering women. But he does not mention how to handle assault in these places or whether that should be different for each gender.
