Trump’s policy agenda includes a Congressional bill to define government-recognized genders strictly as male and female, as assigned at birth.
I have to wonder what is going to happen when the law runs headlong into science here. Because sure, this might primarily affect trans-folk, but they aren’t the only ones who defy strict binary gender.
Science?? Have you seen the abortion debate? There are vegetables classified as fruit and other horrors on the law books. Science got nothing to do with it.

They’ll double down even harder like the failed war on drugs, despite the damage it’s causing. As long as conservatives “feel” like something is the correct solution, it’s the right way to go, all evidence, studies, and science be damned.
I don’t, but when you get to a courtroom, where there are standards of evidence, a judge is going to have to make interpretations that don’t match up with the law.
Hell what happens when there is a typo on a birth certificate? If I’m assigned female at birth and am not genetically nor biologically female, what then? I just have to wait five times as long in bathroom lines? Does the government get to track my menstruation?
All of Trumpists’ dreams of simplicity are defeated by asking just the most obvious questions. Imagine if I were smart enough to ask good questions.

Intersex and the rest will be ignored and marginalized, just like always.
Just have to look at climate science for an example of science taking a backseat to political will.
I believe their official stance is simply that any “expert who thinks they know better than the duly elected president” will be fired or ignored

yup their feelings dont care about the facts
Why do you think that science has any place in the Trump administration?

Well, Trump replaced a bunch of federal judges with sycophants. And, fascists really don’t care about the rule of law or logic.
