    Maybe I’m blazed off my rocker, but isn’t that an approximate definition you’d get from a biology prof. if they’re in a hurry? I swear I heard something like that in one genetics class many moons ago. (I know the actual quote is probably wrong, but the rest is meh ok yeah sure.)

    I guess the nicest thing I could say about this is that I’m glad that if they’re going to be evil, at least they’re bad at it.

    YOU KNOW WHO I WORRY ABOUT COMING INTO WOMEN’S BATHROOMS, CONSERVATIVES?

    CIS MEN.

    I HAVE LITERALLY NEVER HAD A TRANS WOMAN MAKE ME FEEL UNSAFE IN THERE. BUT I HAVE HAD CIS MEN FOLLOW ME IN AND ATTEMPT ASSAULT.

    MEN DON’T NEED TO GO THROUGH THE CONVOLUTED STEPS OF TRANSITIONING TO GAIN ACCESS TO WOMEN’S BATHROOMS, YOU FUCKING IDIOTS

    MAYBE ADDRESS THAT FIRST? NO???

    HOLY FUCKING SHIT

      They believe that anyone can claim they’re a woman now and that’s it. And once it’s done they can just walk into women’s bathrooms. They’re just telling on themselves, projecting on trans people. They’re just sex obsessed freaks, all of them.

      I’ve said that if I was wealthy, I would force legislation that was trans friendly by (as a cis woman) going into women’s bathrooms in Congress, standing on toilets, and staring at women.

      Women’s bathrooms don’t have urinals! There’s no reason for anyone to be afraid of anyone seeing anything in there, unless they stand on toilets, and Im fully of the opinion that the gender of the person doing that has nothing to do with how creepy it is!!

      Maybe if you’re actually worried, all bathrooms should be, I dunno, gender neutral with full doors that close all the way? For maximum safety?

      And I believe nothing can get that point across quite like demonstrating that I, as an almost middle aged, fat woman who looks like I could safely run for a Rwpublican seat, standing on toilets and staring at people.

      Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

        They made a bathroom at my university that’s gender neutral with stalls that are fully ceiling to floor with no gaps in the door.

    Since there is insufficient cell differentiation at conception to produce any reproductive cells, does that mean that according to the white house, all people are legally non-binary now?

    I recommend everyone visit the DMV as soon as possible to change their license. It’s an order from the commander in chief.

    Now that I think of it: every DMV should be only be able to issue licenses with a female designation. Facts and law suites don’t care about your feelings, snow flakes.

    “You know what we mean!”

    So we’re back to gender being a social construct then.

    I’m no biologist, but I’m pretty sure nobody produces gametes at conception. If you want to be pedantic, oocytes form before birth, but actual sperm and eggs don’t show up till puberty (feel free to correct me).

    Now, I would LOVE if we don’t assign gender till puberty, but I still don’t like the method.

        i don’t think embryos produce any reproductive cells right away so that handwave would have to cover… everyone

    It’s the gamete crowd, but adapted for the crowd that can’t spell “gamete”.

    Maybe I’m a late bloomer but I started producing reproduce cells long after conception
