Technically no. They aren't male or female, they're undifferentiated. Since we're neither male nor female at conception, this order means males and females don't actually exist at all.

Get out of here with that big science speak that isn't allowed in American now

At conception the future sex is determined by the chromosomes that the sperm contributes. Once fertilized, there are either X and X or X and Y, which will be XX and XY once meiosis occurs for the first time.

So technically once fertilization occurs(conception), sex has been determined.

According to the wording of the order, at conception you are female if you are "producing larger reproductive cells" or male if you are "producing smaller reproductive cells". Since at conception no one is making either reproductive cells, then I agree with the stance that the order says no one is male or female now.

We’re all non-binary

At conception the future sex is determined by the chromosomes that the sperm contributes.

Explain that to XY individuals with a mutated SRY, meaning they never develop male traits at all, even though they're XY.

Only correct comment here. Genetically, all things are already set in stone at conception. People parroting the 6 week thing are conflating genetic determinism with development of external traits.

There's also the issue with intersexed individuals and other individuals with chromosomal differences... I suspect they are out of scope of the order as they really don't fit either definition

The correct explanation on which the gender depends.
