Opinion | I'm a Transgender Woman. This Is Not the Metamorphosis I Was Expecting.
Briefly

The article discusses the implications of the Trump administration's announcement regarding federal gender recognition, which categorized individuals strictly as male or female based on reproductive biology. The author reflects on their personal transformation into a woman and criticizes the government's understanding of gender, noting that current biological science recognizes the complexity of gender at conception. Instead of promoting biological truth, the author argues that the real intention is to undermine and erase transgender identities from public discourse, fostering an environment of misunderstanding and hostility towards this marginalized community.
At conception, sex has not yet been differentiated. The Trump order's purported goal is to defend women but its real aim seems to target the transgender community.
The announcement by the Trump administration appears to reset America to one gender - female - and suggests a misunderstanding of human biology.
Transgender people's lives are being made increasingly difficult, as this administration seems intent on isolating and mocking a vulnerable community.
The point of using marginalized groups as scapegoats for societal issues is troubling, indicating deeper societal challenges with understanding gender.
