Is Trump the first female president?

Has the moment we've all been waiting for arrived? After both Hillary
Clinton and Kamala Harris failed to break the biggest glass ceiling,
has a woman finally ascended to the highest office in America? Legally
speaking, is Donald J Trump the first female president?

There was a flurry of commentary this week suggesting that, by the
Trump administration's own definition, this could very well be the
case. On Monday, you see, Trump kicked off his second term by signing
a barrage of executive orders, including one stating that sex starts
at the moment of conception - at which point, Trumpian science
decrees, you are female or male and that's it.

"'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that
produces the large reproductive cell," reads the order. "'Male' means
a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small
reproductive cell."

Despite Trump's decree that sex is "immutable", the wording of his
executive order left some room for interpretation. Indeed, some
critics noted that because the undifferentiated genitalia that males
and females share very early in fetal development are "phenotypically
female", you could argue he just made everyone legally female.
