While the order immediately drew fire from LGBTQ+ advocates, Delaware Rep. Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender person elected as a state senator, dismantled its premise with sharp humor and undeniable science.

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.”

In light of President Donald Trump's executive action declaring that there are only two genders, Congress' first openly transgender Congresswoman Sarah McBride reacts.

Rep. Sarah McBride, the first out transgender member of Congress, said Trump’s executive order targeting transgender people is not what Americans actually want.

United States Representative Sarah McBride has pointed out a fatal flaw in President Donald Trump’s executive orders, in particular, an anti-trans measure stating that the US recognises only two sexes.
