• Donald J Trump the first female president

    Is Trump the first female president?

    Has the moment we've all been waiting for arrived? After both Hillary
    Clinton and Kamala Harris failed to break the biggest glass ceiling,
    has a woman finally ascended to the highest office in America? Legally speaking, is Donald J Trump the first female president?

    There was a flurry of commentary this week suggesting that, by the
    Trump administration's own definition, this could very well be the
    case. On Monday, you see, Trump kicked off his second term by signing
    a barrage of executive orders, including one stating that sex starts
    at the moment of conception - at which point, Trumpian science
    decrees, you are female or male and that's it.

    "'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that
    produces the large reproductive cell," reads the order. "'Male' means
    a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell."

    Despite Trump's decree that sex is "immutable", the wording of his
    executive order left some room for interpretation. Indeed, some
    critics noted that because the undifferentiated genitalia that males
    and females share very early in fetal development are "phenotypically
    female", you could argue he just made everyone legally female.
