INAUGURATION Day for US President Donald Trump was understandably a busy one, and amid a slew of executive orders signed that day, the new President may have accidentally made every American female.
Perhaps the most controversial of all the orders was the country's new legal recognition that there are only two genders - male and female - with explicit definitions of each in terms of their application.
According to Mashable, deep in the wording of the 'Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government' order, it suggests sex is assigned at conception, whereas a human fetus' sex organs are identical at the time - in that they have none.
Irrespective of their chromosome pattern, which is present at conception, the Y link begins to express itself at around six or seven weeks by either developing testes to become a male, or not, leading to the birth of a female.
So as Trump's executive order states that due to sex being assigned at conception, it could be interpreted that all of them are in fact female.
It's a testament to the old adage, "read before you sign".
Then there are intersex people, making up 1.7% of the population, whose chromosomes don't fall within the XX or XY boundaries.
These inconsistencies are yet to be formally defined, however legal challenges are underway.
