    I think everyone involved with the orders are a bunch of jackasses, but that simply isn’t what it says. It doesn’t speculate at all about the timing of the production of the reproductive cells, merely that the individual belongs to a a sex that does produce them. It’s a fun joke, but going to the mat defending it just makes it look like you don’t read well.

      It literally specifies “at the time of conception”. At which point nobody has developed any sexual characteristics.

      Competent lawmakers write bills and executive orders VERY carefully in order to cause the least confusion and unintended conclusions possible.

      Trump has once again proven to be the polar opposite of competence.
