Internet influencer and staunch Democrat Harry Sisson found himself in a heated debate on Tuesday as he was pressed repeatedly on the question of how many genders exist. Sisson, known for his loyalty to President Joe Biden, struggled to provide a definitive answer during his appearance on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.” This has become a necessitated conversation since President Donald Trump issued an executive order on Monday night, directing the federal government to recognize only two sexes: male and female. Sisson criticized this order, claiming that it “did not make sense.”
When political commentator Dave Rubin asked Sisson, “How many genders are there, Harry? Come on, little guy, how many genders are there?” Sisson repeatedly stated that there are “at least two genders,” deliberately avoiding commitment to a specific number. Despite being pressed by the panel to give a more precise answer, Sisson deflected by continuously reiterating, “There’s at least two.”
During the program, host Piers Morgan also challenged Sisson, asking him to elaborate on what genders could possibly exist outside of male and female. Morgan questioned, “What are the other [genders]? What are the other ones?” Sisson’s response was to accuse the conservatives on the panel of lying and interrupting him. He tried to deviate from the gender discussion by criticizing Trump’s executive order from a legal standpoint, saying, “Piers, you asked me about Donald Trump’s executive order. I’m trying to explain how legally, it makes absolutely no sense and is gonna get sued in court.”
Trump’s executive order clearly states, “’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.'” Furthermore, it emphasizes that governmental identification should reflect an individual’s biological sex accurately, defending women’s rights by using precise language that recognizes women as biologically female and men as biologically male.
Notably, the national debate on this issue appears to reflect a majority viewpoint. According to a June 2023 national poll by the Public Religion Research Institute (PPRI), 65% of Americans believe there are only two genders. This survey, which sampled 5,000 adults with a 1.5% margin of error, underscores public support for the kind of clear definitions reinforced by Trump’s order. His stance aims to halt the so-called “gender ideology,” which he asserts falsely claims biological males can “identify as and thus become women and vice versa.”
In conclusion, while liberal narratives continue to embrace fluid gender concepts, Trump’s executive order reinforces a scientific and biologically accurate framework that most Americans agree with.
