Nebraska’s Republican Gov. Jim Pillen on Wednesday signed an executive order strictly defining a person’s sex.

The order notably does not use the term “transgender,” although it appears directed at limiting transgender access to certain public spaces. It orders state agencies to define “female” and “male” as a person’s sex assigned at birth.

“It is common sense that men do not belong in women’s only spaces,” Pillen said in a statement. “As Governor, it is my duty to protect our kids and women’s athletics, which means providing single-sex spaces for women’s sports, bathrooms, and changing rooms.”

    Chromosomes don’t even determine sex. Biological essentialist already moved that goal post after the medical/biological community educated them on the complexity of chromosomes. Now they’re saying sex/gender (they can’t tell the difference) is determined by proportions of gamete cells. They’ll eventually have to settle on some new arbitrary metric once enough people realize not even gamete cell proportions satisfy that position.
