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?
2+2=5
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.
As per executive order, the earth is now flat.
declare pi is 4 via executive order
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
Those are fake forms of flight! There are two modes of biological flight. Flight and non flying. You cannot become the other!
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.
New facts lmfao
gonna tell my 6,000 sexes of mushrooms to stop fuckin
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
FINALLY! something to help LOWER those gas prices!
/s
Even setting aside people's gender identity, 1.7% of the population is intersex. A law can't make that untrue.
The law doesn't need to reflect reality though.
not sure how to tell you this, but they can absolutely uhm… change that number
Awfully reminiscent of the trouble the NASDAP had trying to draw the line between Jews and non-Jews. It made them look like fucking idiots, and I hope to hell history treats the GOP the same way.
The Republicans have looked like fucking idiots for as long as I can remember (and that's pretty long, you pesky kids) but that has never stopped them.
They'd have to shoot me before I will ever deny my own womanhood. Not even with a gun to my head would I call myself a man. I lived in a closet for 18 years and it nearly killed me. It damaged me in ways I have to live with forever. I am a woman. They can say whatever the fuck they want it won't change that. I will not bow my head. If it comes to it, I'll die with my back straight, proud of who I am.
Be strong. This harassment is a smokescreen to hide their own weaknesses. 2026 is our chance to reset Congress and mitigate the damage until that asshat leaves. Maybe we’ll even get lucky and he’ll croak early.
Don't worry. We got your back.
Thank you. Truly.
Same sister, I'll happily die a woman if the alternative is living as a man. Gender affirming care is the reason I didn't have to make that choice, and I may have to decide again...
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
