damn, vindication for Andrea Long Chu's "everyone is female and everyone hates it" quote, at long last
Trump’s anti-trans Executive Order is bad BUT it technically defines everyone as female. It states:

“'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell."

Since all fetuses "at conception" are female, Trump just defined EVERYONE as female.

If you're stressing out about tomorrow, there are now over 400 local immigration groups listed on this spreadsheet across all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico - take a minute, find one near you, and commit to spending an hour volunteering with them.
To mark "Trump will declare a national emergency for mass deportations" day: here is the initial spreadsheet of our crowd-sourced *local* immigration advocacy/support organizations.

Please share widely, put to good use, and keep letting me know about more organizations folks can connect with.
