In light of President Donald Trump's executive action declaring that there are only two genders, Congress' first openly transgender Congresswoman Sarah McBride reacts.

Trump announced his anti-trans order on his first day in office. Specifically, the order defines a female as a “a person belonging, at conception to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell,” while a male is a “person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.”

"It defies understanding, except for the fact that it's a pretty obvious part of a politics of misdirection and distraction," McBride said of Republicans' proposed federal anti-trans legislation.
