Did you know that geneticists have discovered that all human embryos start life as females, as do all embryos of mammals? I didn't until I watched the humorous take on it in the video below. About the 2nd month, the fetal tests elaborate enough androgens to offset the maternal estrogens and maleness develops.
The popular narrative is that it takes time to determine the sex of a baby because everyone is the same in the womb to begin with, which in itself is true. But what isn't said is that nearly every man had a clitoris and labia, the same as a female, during the 6 weeks or so of his life. Why isn't this talked about? That fact alone simply obliterates the patriarchy and most machismo men find the thought of it repulsive.
Warning. Adult conversation in the video below about sexual organs and gender. Sometimes laughter is the natural response when the truth is uncomfortable.
Mark Mekler laughs at trans advocates who confronted him at the anti-trans Marsha Blackburn rally
The Tennessee Senate approved a bill Thursday making "recruiting, harboring or transporting" a minor to receive trans-affirming medical care a class C felony punishable by up to 15 years in jail.
The legislation passed the republican senate Thursday on a 25-4 vote and now moves to the similarly GOP-dominated House for a vote.
The bill almost mirrors almost the same language from a so-called “anti-abortion trafficking” proposal that the Senate approved just a day prior. In that version, supporters are hoping to stop adults from helping young people obtain abortions without permission from their parents or guardians, the AP reports.
Both bills could be applied broadly. Critics have pointed out that violations could range from talking to an adolescent about a website on where to find care to helping that young person travel to another state with where gender-affirming care is available.
“We’ve had two bills in two days regulate the types of conversations people can have with each other,” said Democratic state Sen. Jeff Yarbro. “We shouldn’t be trying to violate constitutional rights and that’s what this is trying to do.”
