"The Executive Order establishes Government-wide the biological reality of two sexes and clearly defines male and female."

"All radical gender ideology guidance, communication, policies, and forms are removed. Agencies will cease pretending that men can be women and women can be men when enforcing laws that protect against sex discrimination. 'Woman' means an 'adult human female.' The Executive Order directs that Government identification like passports and personnel records will reflect biological reality and not self-assessed gender identity. The Executive Order ends the practice of housing men in women’s prisons and taxpayer funded 'transition' for male prisoners. The Executive Order ends the forced recitation of 'preferred pronouns' and protects Americans’ First Amendment and statutory rights to recognize the biological and binary nature of sex. This includes protection in the workplace and in federal funded entities like schools.... This order is one of nearly 200 executive actions the White House is rolling out today. Among them: orders to declare a national emergency at the border; end all DEI programs across the federal government; withdrawal from the Paris climate accord; and a return-to-office directive for federal workers."

Democrat judges will block all these orders by 12:15 EST.

Impeachment articles will be filed no later than 11 am tomorrow.

"Vive la différence" !

Pearls being clutched as we speak at the outrage of raising the flag to full staff for the inauguration, and when / how this might be permitted on this dark day.

Rocketeer said...

Thank God.

Chris said...

Good

Yancey Ward said...

More, please.

Mr. Majestyk said...

It's about gosh darn time!

Scott Gustafson said...

Common Sense returns.

Freder Frederson said...

So, I guess Pornhub is going to have to remove an entire category since Dear Leader has informed us that there are only two sexes.

Dave Begley said...

I'm glad that difficult issue is finally settled!

Dave Begley said...

This also means no more taxpayer-funded sex changes via Medicaid.

Readering said...

I presided over a college competition yesterday and at the start I was handed a form on which the participants write in their preferred pronouns. I held it up and said this is being abolished tomorrow. There was awkward laughter, so I quickly added, But he's bringing back tik tok. Genuine laughter.

Whiskeybum said...

Freder - there are only two sexes. That doesn’t preclude multiple forms of mental illness.

Marty said...

Freder, as usual, goes to the heart of the matter.

Tank said...

I was pretty sure that God (or nature) established biological reality a long time ago. I think this means that we don't have to play make believe with the mentally ill anymore.

Bob Boyd said...

Well, you'd know more about that than I would.

Enigma said...

There will be 200 new Executive Orders signed today, and perhaps 100 lawsuits by tomorrow. However, some Democrats want to wash Biden away very badly, so at least a few of them will stick.

Bob Boyd said...

Americans can still pretend to be whatever they want. They just can't force everybody else to pretend to go along with it...but those who want to can still do so.

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

Doesn't the 28th Amendment moot all this crazy gender stuff?

DarkHelmet said...

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool Mother Nature. Not in the long run. Biology has been doing its thing on this planet for billions of years. The gender dysphoria fad ran about 10 years. Ten years too long.

Now what worries me is the new insanity the lefties will dream up to take the place of the trans craze. They always have to have a cause, and it has to be too absurd for ordinary people to stomach, at least at first.

RCOCEAN II said...

Look for the lawsuits to begin tommorrow. And for Lefting Democrat District Judges to start issuing nation-wide injuctions.

DarkHelmet said...

What a great irony it would be if the lefties ended up being sandbagged by the ghost of an old hobby horse. I venture to say that if the ERA as written were brought up fresh today the GOP would support it and the Dems would call it Nazism.

Greg The Class Traitor said...

And for every District Court entering an order blocking an EO, there will be another one, in Texas or Florida, issuing a Nationwide Order proceeding the EO.

And both the 5th and 11th Circuit Courts of Appeals will back those orders.

Whereupon it will get to SCOTUS, and SCOTUS will rule, 6-3 or better, than no District Court can EVER issue a Nationwide Injunction, on any topic.

Because playtime is over

Gerda Sprinchorn said...

Then the Supreme Court will decide, which is good for Trump right now.

Also, this is a losing issue for the left, so the obstructive litigation will drag this issue out and continue hurting the left.

Enigma said...

You are free to play-act about anything you like. Dress-up and fantasy role play are fine. That's not the issue. The issue is abusing mental illness for profit, turning mental illness into something considered "real," and using totalitarian methods to enforce novel categories that do not exist in law nor science nor reproductive function.

Marty said...
Freder, as usual, goes to the heart of the matter.

Actually, a different organ.

Greg The Class Traitor said...

Some examples: female prisoners will file suits demanding that prison officials immediately remove the males from their prisons. A Texas judge will issue a nationwide order that they must do so immediately.

A white or asian male applying for a promotion will apply for a suit demanding that DEI immediately be removed froth hiring process. another national order will follow.

Roberts will be forced to get off his fat ass and intervene, because the dueling courts with their dueling injunctions will make the Court system look like a joke.

I don't believe he can get 5 votes to support the "Hawaiian judges", so his only real option will be an end to Nationwide Injunctions from District Court judges

Freder seeks continuation of income.

Freder likes the He-whores.

Is Pornhub a federal agency? I mean- now that the Democrats aren't in charge ...

Oh Yea said...

No more federal funding for Pornhub

Lets try that again You are just wrong about that

Jim Gust said...

Why does it take so long for sanity and common sense to prevail?

PM said...

Like reaffirming the sky is blue. Amazing it had to be, if you will, mandated.

Bruce Hayden said...

Well, yes, there are intersex people. Your article suggests 1%. The usual estimate is 1/10 of that. That’s not what we are talking about here. There is (or was) some physiological evidence that someone is intersex. And that evidence can be used to argue that sex was misassigned at birth.

Bruce Hayden said...

Except that in reading the history of the ERA, one of their big goals was pay equality - equal pay for supposedly equal work. So, we have (gender studies graduate) experts determining that pink collar jobs are equivalent to blue collar jobs, regardless of supply and demand. Note that “equality” is used, and not “equal”. There is a subtle difference between Equal Rights and “Equality of Right”, with the latter being able to look at equality of outcomes, and not just an even playing field.

“Section 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.”

Kirk Parker said...

Bruce, to even use the word 'assign' is to give up half the battle. I think a far better term, one that comports with reality, is 'recognized'. One very good thing about speaking this way Is there isn't a hint of support for the notion that a person's sex is arbitrary. "You're neither male nor female until the attending medical person rights it on your birth certificate" is complete lunacy.h

Robin Goodfellow said...

I predict much wailing and gnashing of teeth, and many garments will be rent.

Skeptical Voter said...

And figuratively speaking, Trump will be accused of clubbing baby seals.

Christopher B said...

Yup, he *is* a big one.

Enigma said...

We have half horse, half donkey mules. They are typically sterile and evolutionary dead ends. Intersex people either breed as male or female or they too are evolutionary dead ends. Bet humanities future on intersex folks and we'll go extinct.

Enigma said...

There often is pay equity for identical jobs. Men often work in construction, mining, farming, mechanics, and other physically demanding outdoor jobs. Women gravitate to childcare, nursing, teaching, and other social jobs.

For every woman who chooses to crawl under a tractor to replace a greasy transmission, there must be a man who chooses to become a grade school teacher. Otherwise we'll never reach a 50/50 job split!

Women's soft, homemaker jobs rely on men to pave the way by building houses that allow homemakers stay indoors. Men make soft work possible, and women can then safely create the next generation. Complimentary roles. Symbiosis.

robother said...

We'll soon see if Democrats have learned anything from this election drubbing. If transgender rights are the hill they want to die on, so be it.

JAORE said...

The science is settled (as of a couple of million years ago).

FWIW I'll buy the pay is not equal theory (after considering time on the job and other factors) when they study actually similar work. A clerk is NOT the same as a high voltage tower electrical worker. How about as a first screening can be percent of workers seriously hurt or killed on the job.

Mikey NTH said...

Thank you. Sex is assigned at conception, and written on a certificate at birth.
