#54 Sex at Conception? The Dangerous Myth Behind Anti-Trans and Anti-Choice Laws

Description

Some politicians want you to believe that sex is determined at conception—but that’s not how biology works. In this mini episode, I break down the science of gestational development, debunk the dangerous myth of "sex at conception," and explain how this misinformation fuels anti-trans and anti-choice policies.


I also unpack Trump’s 2025 executive orders targeting reproductive rights, gender-affirming care, and public health. What do these laws mean for trans and nonbinary people? How do they impact abortion access? And how can we fight back?


Amidst the frustration, I'm also bringing a message of hope and solidarity because science, community, and advocacy are on our side.
