Dear Representative,
I am writing regarding Trump’s executive order regarding 2 sexes. There can’t just be 2 sexes. At bare minimum, there must be 3 because there is a percentage of babies born that are intersex. Most babies are born with an identifiable penis or vagina, and these babies are identified as male and female, there are babies that are born with both, or they have chromosomes of both sexes or they are born looking as though they are one sex but they develop characteristics of the other sex and these people really are intersex people.
It doesn’t matter if Trump wants to write an executive order stating his opinion about it, when we have scientific proof that we have, at least 3 sexes, but many more when we consider the variations that sometime occur in chromosomes and genes and genitalia. This doesn’t even consider people with gender dysphoria. Science set aside, I believe that gender expression should be protected under the 1st amendment. I should be able to express myself however I want in an honest and open manner as long as I am dressed in public spaces and not breaking any laws regarding modesty.
I am seeing that conservative states are beginning to write legislation that bans transgender people from being. I find this appalling. To fine or jail someone for existing is ridiculous and wrong. When is it enough? When will people see that legislating humanity is not how to move forward but just drags us back in time. My pre-school teacher taught me that if you didn’t like someone, find someone else to play with. This rule has served me well for my entire life.
I have seen several videos of transgender people that have received “corrected” passports with the sex they were assigned at birth. These people have transitioned and no longer look like this sex. This might just seem like a letter on their passport to some but it could put them in danger in certain countries and circumstances. DJT is endangering United States citizens. He is also empowering hate towards transgender people and the queer community in the United States. This must stop.
You have the power to overturn the president. He must answer to you. Please do your job.
Sincerely,
Summer D. Clemenson
