Snopes chuds out too

TLDR the Snopes article says

>the definition is bad because it didn't just use chromosomes

One possible definition would be a genetic one, with all humans possessing XX chromosomes defined as belonging to the female s*x and all humans possessing XY chromosomes defined as belonging to the male s*x.

That approach would have had its own issues. There are genetic conditions, albeit rare ones, that can result in a person having an XX chromosome but male sexual characteristics or vice versa. There are also conditions that can result in nonstandard sexual genotypes, such as XXY. That said, because the vast majority of zygotes have from conception either XX or XY chromosomes corresponding to the types of genitalia they'll eventually develop, using genetics as the foundation for the executive order's definition of belonging to a s*x would have some grounding in science.

I dunno why people like to deboonk things using a site run by some guy and his estranged wife, but I guess a broken clock is right twice a day !transphobes
