"Not Just Trans Rights: The Hidden Dangers in Trump’s Gender Agenda"

So for those that may have been reading some of what I have written you can tell that I've had a lot on my mind recently and I have written a lot - been contemplating all the events that occurred because America elected Trump - But I want to discuss his anti Trans exectuive order and how its not just about Trans.

The executive order, entitled “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” is a mouthful of absurdity—exactly what you’d expect from someone who spews word salads every time they open their cavernous mouth.

But I digress. This order isn’t just about bad phrasing or flawed logic. It’s an alarming attack on the Trans community, one that opens doors to broader harm that should concern everyone, including cisgender women.

It’s inaccurate, it’s inept, and it’s ignorant. And yet, it’s deliberate in how it serves the Republican agenda in ways that may not be immediately obvious. Let’s break it down.

The Binary Lie: Biological Sex Is Not Simple

First, let’s talk about the definitions of sex. The order makes sweeping claims about “biological truth,” but from a scientific standpoint, there’s nothing straightforward or binary about biological sex.

There are several elements that determine what we think of as a person’s sex:

• Chromosomes (e.g., XX, XY, XXY, XYY)

• Gonads (e.g., ovaries, testes, or a combination)

• External genitalia

• Hormones

Each of these elements exists on a spectrum. Take chromosomes, for instance. While XX and XY are often thought of as the “male” and “female” pairings, there are millions of variations that don’t fit neatly into either category: XXY, XYY, XO, and many others.

When all of these factors align, a person may fit what we consider a “typical” male or female definition—what we call cisgender. But these factors can also not align, resulting in intersex, Trans, and nonbinary individuals.

Here’s the thing: most people don’t even know their exact chromosomal makeup. If you took a chromosome test tomorrow, you might discover that you don’t fit the “standard” definition of male or female. The binary isn’t just flawed—it’s a closed-minded oversimplification of human biology.

The Order’s Definition: A Dangerous Oversight

Now let’s look at the executive order itself. The definition of “female” reads as follows:“‘Female’ means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.”

This definition is a mess for several reasons:

1. It’s Biologically Inaccurate.Biological sex doesn’t come into play at conception. At that point, all embryos are neutral and default to female. It’s only around six weeks after conception that the potential for male sex characteristics emerges, influenced by the presence of a Y chromosome and the SRY gene.

2. It Reduces Women to Their Reproductive Capacity.By defining women solely by their ability to produce eggs, this order erases countless women who experience infertility or reproductive health issues. It also ignores the existence of women who’ve had hysterectomies, women born without a uterus, and intersex individuals.

3. It Pushes an Anti-Abortion Agenda.The phrase “at conception” sneaks in a political agenda by implying that personhood begins at conception—a key argument used by those seeking to limit or ban abortion rights. This isn’t just about Trans people; it’s about controlling women’s bodies, period.

The Slippery Slope: Policing Gender and Genitals

This executive order doesn’t just target Trans people—it lays the groundwork for a dystopian level of gender policing that should terrify cisgender women as well.

The definition of “female” in this order opens the door for strangers, officials, and institutions to demand proof that a woman is “really” a woman. Imagine being stopped at an airport or a sports event and being forced to prove your gender because someone decides you “don’t look right.”

What happens to women with ambiguous genitalia or atypical chromosomes? What happens to intersex individuals who don’t fit these rigid definitions? Will the government force surgeries on intersex babies to “fix” them?

This order isn’t just about targeting Trans people. It’s about creating a society where no one is safe from being scrutinized, judged, or dehumanized based on narrow, outdated definitions of sex and gender.

The Personal Impact: Losing What Little We Have

For Trans people, the implications of this order are devastating. For nearly a decade, I’ve fought to live as my authentic self. I’ve battled gender dysphoria, survived addiction, and fought to claim my identity.

And yet, so much of that identity—the self-confidence I’ve worked so hard to build—is tied to something as small as a single letter on an ID.

That little “F” on my residency card means everything to me. It’s recognition. It’s validation. It’s proof that I am who I say I am.

Now, that recognition is being stripped away. When I renew my residency card, I know it’ll be changed back to “M.” That tiny letter, which means so much to me, will be erased by people who know nothing about me—or basic biology, for that matter.

Tennessee is already working to copy this federal mandate. They require gender markers to match birth certificates unless you can “prove” you’ve transitioned. And they’re pushing a bill to change the color of driver’s licenses for immigrants, effectively marking us as targets for discrimination.

This is what America is becoming. “Blood America.” The land of the not-so-free.

The Bigger Picture: Apathy and Accountability

There’s a part of me that wants to wash my hands of all of this.

America allowed this clown back into office. Whether you voted for him or chose not to vote, you let this happen. You deserve what comes next.

But here’s the thing: while I’m waiting for this to impact you, it’s already impacting me.

This isn’t just a policy—it’s a direct attack on my identity, my dignity, and my right to exist.

For years, I’ve been screaming into the void, begging people to listen. But this void—it’s full of apathy. And honestly, I don’t know how we got here. How did we become a society so indifferent to the suffering of others? How did we decide that some people simply don’t matter?

They chose this man. They chose this future. Whether they wanted this or simply didn’t care enough to stop it, I don’t know which is worse.

Conclusion: What Now?

This is a fight that affects everyone, whether they realize it or not. It’s about more than Trans rights—it’s about the right of all people to live authentically, without fear of being policed or erased.

And yet, despite my anger, my exhaustion, and my despair, I know I can’t stop fighting. Because even if it feels like no one is listening, I refuse to be silent.

I refuse to let them erase me.
