I'm curious what this means. Will this retroactively apply to people who have already changed their sex? Does the government even have records of the sex change? Can you request they be destroyed?

Philosoraptor knew what was coming all along

if you believe life starts at conception, and all embryos start female doesn't that make all males trans?

E: in all seriousness, this is as scary as it is ridiculous

I read that, it's amusing but the logic is flawed if sex is defined chromosomally. (Though if it's chromosomal, there's no point in defining it as being "at conception.") If it is defined chromosomally, then people with abnormal sex genotypes (e.g. Swyer syndrome) will be male by this logic, which I think not even Trump would agree with. So there definitely is a flaw with this definition.
