How does this help men and women? I know how it hurts people, but who is HELPED by this?
Fascists.
Edit: Whenever the question is "Who could possibly be helped by this?" the answer is "Fascists."
How? How does it help them?
Fascists need an “other” to demonize. They delight in the cruelty towards the “other”. The executive order gives them a sense of accomplishment, further strengthening the group bonds as they enjoy the suffering of the “other” together.
It really is as simple as “the cruelty is the point”. It helps them because they desire to inflict cruelty, and this gives them a method for doing so.

Because it is a clear demonstration of "We can do whatever the fuck we want, and you can't stop us," as well as a warning: "Don't piss us off, or we're going to do it to you next."
Edit: Also a message to other fascists: "You can do whatever you want, and they can't stop you."

these fascist dipshits are everything they claim to hate. we are expected to just accept "their truth" when all of the evidence suggests otherwise, so pathetic.
I've always said, religious people and puritans of all stripes seem way too concerned by other people's genitals. Just like perverts.

I wonder what their approach to intersex people will be..
Well, Trump says there are only two biological genders, but he said nothing about what percentage of each a person is allowed to have.
If anyone is curious what other fascist regimes did: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex_rights_in_Germany

What about hermaphrodites? Do they just pick their favorite?
No, "traditionally" it's picked for them right after birth.
Any surplus parts are cut off, problem solved.

whats next, an executive order stating black people are only 3/5th of a white person? c02 isnt rising in volume in the atmosphere? that he isnt a literal hitler wannabe?
The CO2 one isn’t far off and may actually be in that first 200 orders.
You're making jokes, but yes. This is a man that drew on a map with a sharpie to change the course of a hurricane. There's nothing stopping him from blatantly lying about the reality that is right in front of our faces.
