Shit’s about to pop off, but we don’t know exactly what the orders are yet. I figure we could collect them in a single post and discuss as they come out.

The phrasing in (2)(a) appears to ban changes by defining sex as immutable
“Sex” shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female. “Sex” is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of “gender identity.”
Then what happens to people that have already had legal sex change? Some people have gotten nearly every document changed, including birth certificates.
That’s for the courts to decide. “Immutable” seems very clear in this context and I doubt any court will shut this down because it isn’t overstepping executive power or breaking precedent.
Iirc Kansas started forcing people to change things back (e.g. if you needed a driver’s license renewal)
made me realize I probably shouldn’t go through the effort of changing since 1) they would have a record of that change 2) they will probably just change it back or some shit
