We're all trans now. Sorry I don't make the rules.
In that familiar old incompetence I haven't missed, Trump's executive order defines sex as what a person is at CONCEPTION.
Fetal sex doesn't begin to differentiate until about 7 weeks into gestation.
Which means Donald used the highest office in the land to declare all Americans legally female.

In honor of republican policy, I will refuse to refer to the Gulf of Mexico by her new gender. I think once a gulf is named, it’s a denial of reality to change that name.

Major news breaking from NOTUS on Trump’s trans passport ban:
It will not be retroactive.
Very glad I and others encouraged people to get their passports in the lead up to Trump’s inauguration.
Now hopefully this EO is defeated in court.

Trump’s Gender Order Won't Affect Existing Passports — Unless They’re Renewed
“They can still apply to renew their passport — they just have to use their God-given sex, which was decided at birth,” the White House press secretary told NOTUS.

The US military’s long history with drag
During World War II, cross dress events were not only sanctioned by the Army, but celebrated as a boon for morale.

Water is becoming a major issue in the Southern California fires.
As crews battled the wildfire in Pacific Palisades, they put so much strain on the water system that the fire hydrants ran dry.
The fires have also fed ash into the water supply, leading to a boil order notice.
