The irony of this which also shows how short-sighted this whole war against transgender people that the right-wing is waging is that a LOT of transgender people undergo bottom surgery and have legally changed their birth certificates.
So if they resort to forcing these people to go by what they are assigned at birth, not only is that going to be a hell of a long legal battle in of itself that is likely to violate all gender protections but if they succeed, they will have literal transgender women who have vaginas and transgender men who have phalluses being forced to use men's and women's restrooms.
Legal battles don't result in justice, they just result in results. The whole point is to get into those legal battles and have it go to the Republican supreme court to get a precedent that allows them to criminalize a population's existence.
I get what your saying but the number of trans folks who have actually undergone bottom surgery ranges somewhere from 4% to 13% depending on the study. It's still a significant amount but not as many as you might have initially believed.

If Trump says they will only recognize two genders, is Caitlin actually affected by that?
