XX = ALWAYS female. No alternative. If you are healthy you have a womb and can bear babies. They are intrinsically connected. You have large gametes.
XY = ALWAYS male. No alternative. You cannot ever bear babies, no matter how healthy you are. You have small gametes.

If they ever dig up your body, this is how you will be identified. Your feelings have *nothing* to do with the matter. Nor does your sanity. They will 100% identify you according to the actual, empirical physical characteristics that make you male or female (or a genetic sport of some sort).

That you keep repeating the delusion just makes you delusionAL.
No matter how many times you repeat 1+1=3, it's still not true and never will be.

Facts > Feelings.

If you have XX chromosomes, you're female and thus a woman. Cutting off your tits or bolting on a Frankenphallus just makes you a woman with surgical alterations.
If you have XY chromosomes, you're male and thus a man. No amount of makeup, women's underwear, or stripteasing in front of children will change that.

Anything else is an aberration and, like a one-armed person or someone born without eyes, recognized defective. It doesn't make them less human, but the idea we should just pretend that's normal is a weird delusion.

No, you're wrong. Period.
Being transgender, like any mental illness, requires sympathy and care - not pretend-endorsement for political points and virtue signaling.

It's no more deserving of "respect" than any other human being, but it is worthy of pity. Some wiring has gone wrong in their heads; that's not their fault.

It's not 2022. Only the truly dogmatic believes that silly shit any more.

I love you guys.
Dawkins when attacking Christianity and religion is a super genius, insightful, brilliant ... Until the moment he departs from the canon, now he's a fucking liar and obviously stupid.

Impossible.... IMPOSSIBLE that you might be wrong.

The frothing left can't stop itself from the purity spiral, driving even your allies right. Dawkins himself had to start looking at his intellectual allies and realize they might be the baddies.

You are great. Keep it up. Never change and certainly never, ever doubt yourself.

There are two sexes. Period.
Anything else is, by definition, aberrant & basically broken. Yes, biology makes many errors. Usually they die. Sometimes they don't.

It doesn't mean transgenders should be mistreated, they deserve our pity and whatever help they can get to be happy in their lives.

But fortunately the world has moved on from this absurd delusion that if you really really really pretend you're a donkey, you MUST BE ONE. That's silly. And... basically insane.

The process is such that the IEEPA refunds will proceed with the liquidation of the imports.

Customs basically finally closes a file (liquidates) about 315d after the entry. So if something was imported on July 1 2025, then May 12 2026 it would liquidate.
Importers having filed their CAPE data (which was super easy, took me about 15 mins for more than 1200 entries), those entries will be flagged for the return of the IEEPA duties plus interest, which is a usual customs thing.

Note that 'issuing the refund' and getting the refund $ actually might take a bit. Some brokers are suggesting it might take up to 60d for the funds to flow, or, it could just be CBP is awaiting June1, as the White House still has a chance to protest the CITA court ruling until then. (There is no suggestion they will but still, better to wait then have to un-de-retro-re-bill people for refunds that need to come back or whatever.)

Short version, it's not like these companies will suddenly get a giant pile of refunds; they will trickle back at (approximately) the frequency they went out last year.
