I mean there’s male, female, and intersex who make up less than 1% of the population. Nothing about gender. This isn’t the flex trump thinks it is…

I'm a straight old white male European, so hope you don't mind me posting here. I'm just curious about what impact this will have? It seems to me, that "freedom of speech" can easily be interpreted that it's ok to hate non straight people? Medical treatments might be impaired as well? Also: hate groups like Proud boys and White Lives Matter might very well feel emboldened to get violent, certainly after Elons "gesture". As a European, I fear the worst as this crap looks extremely familiar. What are your thoughts/expectations/fears?

First of all, you're absolutely welcome to post here as an ally.

Secondly, I found an informative article on thr queer news website them which explained everything:

[Link]

The order, titled "Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” was one of more than 200 executive actions Trump issued on the first day of his second term, [...] disbanding federal programs on diversity, equity, and inclusion. [...] the document seeks to redefine gender at the federal level, erase recognition of trans people in government communications, cease the issuance of gender-corrected U.S. passports, bar incarcerated trans women from being housed in women’s prisons, deny gender-affirming medical care to trans inmates, embolden transphobia in the workplace, and block federal dollars from being used to “promote gender ideology.”

I live in the UK, so I only know what I'm being told, but the situation looks pretty dire over there.

Thanks, doesn't sound good at all. There is lots of worrying that Elons billions will enable him to push the extreme right wing political parties with similar views here in Europe. Some think this will be a great thing, but luckily they are still a minority at the moment. But for how long? Take care people, as I expect groups like the Proud Boys will harass you and get away with it.

Wonder if this result in media banning this and to what extent. Like is ranma 1/2 being pulled?

"no, he just wants to be a boy again after his parent turned him into a girl during a trip to China"

A post about sex determination that seems relevant.

I can’t seem to find a good quality version of this image. Any leads?

Edit: oh. My internet was just sucking and it did not resolve.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

Heh, yeah. Probably could be better, but share away!

Is he gonna sign one to abolish gravity too?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

He should sign one that says the flag was at absolutely, definitely not at half mast.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He'll sign one that there are only four elements: Fire, Earth, Air, and Water.

But what's his stance on the Humors?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

By executive order Humors are illegal to stop people laughing at him.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Lol that's pretty good. Wouldn't put it past him

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

I'm thinking trump and the Republican party are really bad, like cruel and stupid bad, and maybe we shouldn't let them give orders anymore.
