Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) introduced a bill this week to legally erase transgender people, entitled the “Defining Male and Female Act of 2024.” He claimed that the bill will stop what he called the Biden administration’s attempt to “replace biological sex with dangerous radical gender ideology.”

The bill is a long list of terms and definitions, where words like “father” and “girl” are defined with the words “male” and “female.” Those two words are then defined as “an individual who naturally has, had, will have, or would have, but for a congenital anomaly or intentional or unintentional disruption, the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports and utilizes [sperm or eggs for male or female, respectively] for fertilization.”

    Of course that definition makes no scientifical sense. Tf do they mean “supposed to”? We aren’t supposed to do jack shit. And how do you tell which one an intersex person is supposed to be lmao? Because they have female genetalia, they should carry eggs, but what if they’re XY? Does that mean they’re supposed to carry sperm?

      They’re clearly “supposed to” do both. They are both male and female. It’s a sort of super power. /s
