You've got it all wrong! Look, it's all in the executive order[0]:

(d) “Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.

(e) “Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.

All fetuses are female for the first 6 or 7 weeks, regardless of their chromosomes. Trump just accidentally banned men.

This is false. We all begin in an undifferentiated state before our genes differentiate us down a female or male pathway.

Female development is not equivalent to the undifferentiated stage we all start with as fetuses.
