US President Donald Trump may have accidentally defined all US citizens as female, following a controversial executive order regarding biological sex passed on his first day back in office on Monday.
In his inaugural address, Trump promised to end “the government’s policy of attempting to socially introduce race and gender into every aspect of public and private life”, and declared that it was now the “official policy of United States government is that there be only two genders, male and female. »
The White House statement regarding the executive order said that “ideologues who deny the biological reality of sex have increasingly resorted to legal and other socially coercive means to allow men to identify as women and have access to intimate, single-sex spaces and activities designed for.” women, from shelters for women victims of domestic violence to women’s showers in the workplace.
He goes on to say that this problem would be solved by using “clear and precise language and policies that recognize that women are biologically women and men are biologically men.”
Male and female must, as Trump said, be “anchored in a fundamental and incontestable reality.”
Hours after his speech, Trump signed the policy into law by executive order under the name Defending Women from Ideological Gender Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.
However, the criteria Trump gives for men and women actually define everyone as a woman.
According to his decree, “female” designates a person belonging, at conception, to the sex which produces the large reproductive cell, while “male” designates a person belonging, at conception, to the sex which produces the small reproductive cell.
Biologically, however, all fetuses at conception are female until about six or seven weeks of gestation.
The sexual organs (gonads) of the fetus remain undifferentiated until this point, meaning that all fetal genitalia are female until 6 to 7 weeks after conception.
Scientifically, Trump’s order considers everyone female, given that at the time of conception, all fetuses belong to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.
Netizens reacted with amusement to the order, taking to social media to say: “I just found out I’m a woman” and “I am all women.”
One user wrote on Reddit: “Donald Trump is now a beautiful and brave woman,” to which another replied: “He has to be to become the first female POTUS.”
Other users joked that the pay gap is now gone, given that everyone is women. “Well shit, my salary just went down 30%,” one wrote.
Another user reassured them: “But your life expectancy has just increased, so it’s for you. However, you are now more likely to spend your later years in poverty and with chronic health problems. Which might be a little weird.” a depressing one.”
There have been some disputes regarding the application of science online. Some users have raised the issue that the order discusses “large reproductive cells” versus “small reproductive cells,” referring to eggs and sperm. It does not refer to the x and y chromosomes, nor to the genitals.
Scientifically, since no fetus has an egg or sperm at conception, this order could also mean that no one has a sex.
Trump, who signed several executive orders on his first day, promised to begin “the complete restoration of America and the revolution of common sense,” according to excerpts of his inaugural address.
On the first day, he pardoned approximately 1,500 people who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
It also repealed Executive Order 14115 issued on February 1, 2024, which authorized the imposition of certain sanctions on Israeli settler groups “against persons undermining peace, security and stability in the West Bank.”
Its decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement for a second time has also sparked fear and condemnation, as it excludes the world’s largest historic emitter from global efforts to combat climate change for the second time in one decade.
Trump also made statements about the ceasefire between Israel and Gaza, saying he was “not sure” about it, adding: “It’s not our war.” This is their war. I’m not sure, but they are very weakened on the other side. ”
