How does this help men and women? I know how it hurts people, but who is HELPED by this?
Owning the libs is his raison de terre.
if it makes amorphous enemies mad, then its worth it.
Reason of earth? I think it’s “Rasion d’etre”
thanks. lol. I thought something was wrong with it but was too busy to check
Even setting aside people’s gender identity, 1.7% of the population is intersex. A law can’t make that untrue.
not sure how to tell you this, but they can absolutely uhm… change that number
Even ignoring socially constructed gender identities, in the case of biological sexes, this is scientifically wrong. The world doesn’t fit into neat little boxes like these people think it does
Science is a joke to you huh
It’s not a gospel and yeah it’s sometimes funny. But mainly it’s an elegantly regimented way to explore the world around us

edit: on a more serious note, yes, when studying the biology of humans or similar organisms probably 99% of the time you can pretend there are only two genders/sexes, but
- that doesn’t make it true
- even just 1.7% of the U.S. population is still a pretty big number (~580k people)
lol so you can just sign executive orders to declare new facts into reality? why don’t you declare people can fly, that would be cool.
declare pi is 4 via executive order
As per executive order, the earth is now flat.
But people can fly
On planes, for long periods of time
Or gliders for Shorter periods
or from windows for even shorter periods. Very popular in Russia
nah that’s not you flying. I don’t know why people say it like that in English but that’s just riding on a plane. same as riding a horse doesn’t mean the person is galloping.
I literally have to wonder if my NC Birth Certificate (updated to reflect my Gender Affirming Care) will still be valid or if I’ll get a letter saying they found an “Error” and “corrected it”
I have to worry about the Government turning my boyfriend into a homosexual by declaring me a man, how the fuck do we even get here?
I’m sure soon the Xestapo will pay a visit to deliver your new corrected documents
Hey, I don’t know if this is helpful to you. It’s been helpful for others
There are a lot of other resources out there too.
I’m sorry the website isn’t providing much information, what is this?
You pick a location near you and it lists known orgs that provide aid in any manner near you. Some people have used this to organize safe passage out of red states or support if you don’t want to leave. Make sure to verify what the resource is beforehand.
If you’re concerned about commsec I’m happy to contact any aid org on your behalf. I’m also working on an open I2P proxy for activists and at risk populations so that people can communicate and organize efforts in places where their rights are at risk or non-existent.
There’s also Arti nodes or more traditional Tor nodes as well. At least communicate through Signal if you’re going to be organizing efforts and stay off of anything Meta or twitter related.
Edit: the general nature of the site is why I said it may not be of help to you but it might be of help to others. You’re now on a list as a trans person in what is likely to be a trans exclusionist state and may know others in the community who could use any resource. I’m not one to assume your needs and I wish you all the best to you and your husband.
Feels over science.
2016-2020 was the time of alternative facts 2025-2029 is the time of alternative reality
Supreme court will soon say the law doesn’t have to abide actual science or reality in general (if they haven’t already).
Just ignore the outrage machine and focus on what things you can do to help. The outrage is only to make you tired. Sue when you must, support businesses, organizations, and politicians you agree with financially, vote in every election, don’t add to any problem, and ignore Trump and his minions to the best extent you can.
Reminds me of some state laws that have been voted for, and sometimes even enacted, that defined PI as three (or worse, even 4). Just because an uneducated jokel in the White House signed a piece of paper, scientific reality won’t just bend to his wishes.
What’s next? Will he declare Ohms law illegal? Forbid gravity?
As an electrical eng student you had me at Ohm’s law.
Reminds me of the time Indiana tried to redefine pi.
What happened to conservatives? What happened to “my rights end where yours begin”. This shit is asinine, absolute trash.
The trans folks I know are the most joyful, positive people I know. They do not deserve to be stripped of their joy and identity. The next 2 years I suspect will be a long, hard road.
The next 2 years
Lol. It’s gonna be a lot longer than that. We’re entering a period of American decline that will likely last for a generation. Remember, the majority of voting Americans voted for this. That problem doesn’t just go away.
gonna tell my 6,000 sexes of mushrooms to stop fuckin
Wait, you’re telling me Republicans (Trump Party) are focusing on hurting minorities via a culture war instead of passing meaningful legislation to help struggling Americans?
The fact that I’ve been witnessing them do this for my entire lifetime didn’t prepare me for this.
Fuck 'em title 19 still applies.
So why exactly are we focusing on LGBTQ+ peoples here? Obviously they are equally deserving of protections just like everyone else, but This appears to read like we’re getting rid of DEI hiring practices entirely. Seems like something that would affect all protected groups. And arguably, racial minorities are a much larger group of people that are going to be hurt by this. Focusing on the gender binary thing really feels like distraction from the wider implications this has.
And the companies immediately coming out saying they’re ending their DEI practices before Trump was even in office really shows you how performative their adherance to the law really was. It really perfectly demonstates why we need these laws in the first place when companies are this eager to be openly against anti-discrimination.
Reading the orders, the gender one is much more impactful.
Canceling DEI programs cancels those programs, which just isn’t that impactful. Maybe it slows or reverse progress on equality at the population level. But an individual is not going to notice a difference (unless they were explicitly working in administering it). Further, those DEI programs were only for federal agencies, which are going to have a much bigger culture shift from the coming idealougical and loyalty purge. Minorities are still protected by strong anti discrimination laws and the 14th amendment.
The anti trans order, in contrast, declares that trans people don’t exist. And the entirety of the federal government must act accordingly. This will have a direct effect on every openly trans person in the country. Further, the legal protections trans people have are based entirely on an interpretation of gender discrimination laws that the current Supreme Court seems unlikely to endorse; and which Trump has directed the Attorney General to not follow.
That came out last week I think? Checking…

Meta and some other cunts removed DEI practices on Jan 10 and Costco said fuck that and kept it.
Of course all of it deserve our attention, but that is why the focus of the comments here is on the gender portion of the EO.
