Sarah McBride laughs off Trump's anti-trans executive order: 'He just declared everyone a woman'

Delaware Rep. Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender person elected to Congress, brushed off President Donald Trump's anti-transgender executive order Tuesday evening.
Trump announced his anti-trans order on his first day in office. Specifically, the order defines a female as a "a person belonging, at conception to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell," while a male is a "person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell."
But critics pointed out that genitalia at conception are "phenotypically female," according to the National Library of Medicine.
For the first several weeks after conception, all human embryos follow a "female" developmental blueprint until the activation of the SRY gene initiates sexual differentiation. Embryos with an XY genotype will begin developing male traits linked to the Y chromosome at roughly six weeks. Before then, human embryos have only developed female traits linked to the X chromosome. One social media critic scoffed that the order was "written by morons."
McBride laughed off the distinction between "reproductive cells" during Tuesday evening votes in the House of Representatives.
"Well, it appears that he just declared everyone a woman from conception based on the language of the of the executive order," she told The Independent.

This brings some comfort, it sounds like Congresswoman McBride has this under control. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens next. Thanks.

This response still relies on the XX/XY as the definitive sexual characteristic controlling factor. It's been proven how this is very simplistic and inaccurate view.
Read the following with tongue-in-cheek:
I've read (accurate? speculation?) that the Y is the one that introduces the most detrimental genetic mutations. So, in the context of Y as the male contribution .. all genetic deformities are the fault of men.
