Right wing media sources are reporting that Donald Trump will issue an executive order that asserts that trans women are women.
According to the bro-culture vulture platform, The Free Press, in addition to “strik[ing] out at gender ideology and pronouns,” Trump will, via Executive Order, decree that “Woman means an adult human female.”
Presuming such an Order would be issued in the English language, let us consider what these English language words mean.
According to the American Webster’s dictionary, these are the definitions for woman, female, and trans woman:
Woman: an adult female person.
Female: of, relating to, or being the sex that typically has the capacity to bear young or produce eggs; having a gender identity that is the opposite of male.
Trans woman: a transgender woman : a woman who was identified as male at birth.
Should Trump issue an Executive Order asserting the TERF slogan “Woman: Adult Human Female” in the English language, he will be asserting, in the literal sense, that trans women are women.
