✨ anyone who wants to feel energized and empowered about parenthood.
📚 It's for anyone who wishes they could go back to college -- but skip the tests.
👥 And it's for anyone who is, was, knows, might be, wants to be, will never, or doesn't want to be a parent. 2/3

Thanks. Just submitted a pressing and timely question about that room at the Boston science museum in the 90s that was just for Oregon Trail.

More from Judge Reyes
Judge Reyes: EO 14183 adopts the definitions of a separate executive order called Defending Women from Gender Ideology, Extremism and Restoring biological Truth to the federal government. And that EO states, "sex shall refer to an individual's immutable biological classification as either male or female." And it states that, "It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female." Do you see that or do you remember that? Jason C. Lynch:! will take the court's word for it. Judge Reyes: You understand, as a matter of biology, it's just incorrect that there are only two sexes, right? Jason C. Lynch: Do I understand that to be incorrect as a biological matter? Judge Reyes: Yes. It is incorrect as a biological matter. You understand that, right? Jason C. Lynch: I don't understand that to be incorrect. Judge Reyes: You understand that not everyone has an xx or an xy chromosome, right? Jason C. Lynch: Honestly, no, I don't. Judge Reyes: It's actually kind of a really important point because this executive order is premised on an assertion that's not biologically correct. There are anywhere near about 30 different intersex examples. So someone who does not have just xx or xy chromosome is not just male or female. They're intersex. And there are over 30 potential different intersex examples. We've got genetic differences. We have people with xxx chromosomes. We have androgen insensitivity, xy genetically, that may have female external sex characteristics and internally have testes. There's a five alpha reductase deficiency that causes changes in testosterone metabolism, xy that may have female external genitalia or ambiguous genitalia. The point being, and I'm happy to have you guys brief this more if you want, but I'm telling you right now that there are people who are neither male or female. And so the premise of the executive order is just incorrect.
