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.”

    I think you’re not paying attention to what I’m saying.

    Go through my comments and then come back.

      There’s a reason everyone is downvoting you, and it’s not tribalism. If you care at all about trans rights, you’d go through your own comments and maybe give some thought as to why so people are apparently misunderstanding you.

      Here, I’ll get you started: You called trans women “males” in the first comment of yours that I replied to. So not only were you legitimizing their bigotry, you were also using the purposefully vitriolic language that they use when they convey that bigotry. You (seemingly intentionally) misgendered them.

      Maybe take a moment to consider why people may have taken umbridge with that.

      That first comment then colors every other comment of yours read after. You’ve parroted transphobic talking points, using their purposely offensive language. Anything you say after that is assumed to be in bad faith.

        Ok. I disagree with what you’re saying and I’m tired of reading your baseless accusations.

        You’re clearly just going to believe whatever you want and ignore any information that contradicts it.

        Gonna have to block you now. Goodbye.

          You could have actually read what I said, taken it as constructive criticism as I was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you were being misunderstood. I guess that was a mistake.

          All you had to do was edit that initial comment, and people would stop “misunderstanding” you. But I’m starting to think you know exactly what you’re doing. You’re so full of shit.

          But yeah go ahead and just block me instead.
