Wonder if this result in media banning this and to what extent. Like is ranma 1/2 being pulled?

Legal laws can't change scientifically established theory. If he wants to do some unbiased research though...

...he'd probably prove himself wrong

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago

this will more than likely get dragged through the courts for the entire term by multiple cases.

plus there's all the legislation that would have to be rewritten or repealed to support this 'policy', that would never get through congress without a larger moron majority than exists currently.

How do I cross post?

The article title is misleading. It's true that there are only two sexes, but Trump's order is concerning gender, which is a spectrum.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

There are scientifically more than two sexes. Something like 1-2% of all people are intersex.

They will call it "multisex" and come up with treatments to "fix" the "medical issue".

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 7 points 2 days ago

They already do that with the more obviously intersex children at birth.

[–] BumpingFuglies@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You'd think that, but really, I suspect a lot of the confusion comes from the word itself. "Intersex" implies with its "inter-" prefix that something exists between the two sexes, thus implying the existence of a third (or more) sex.

But again, it's just a blanket term that covers a wide variety of medical conditions related to development of sex organs/characteristics.

And I shouldn't have to say this, but of course I'm not saying that one's anatomy has any influence on one's worth as a person. I'm not a monster. I'm just a stickler for semantic accuracy.

I’m not a monster. I’m just a stickler for semantic accuracy.

For what reason? What use does it have? Because as it stands, you're arguing in favor of a false dichotomy that, though you may be against them, is still used by bigots to justify their hate. Weighed against "semantic accuracy," I don't really think that's worthwhile.
