“The Indiana pi bill was bill 246 of the 1897 sitting of the Indiana General Assembly, one of the most notorious attempts to establish mathematical truth by legislative fiat.” In short, they tried to pass a bill changing the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter from π (3.14159…) to 3.2. Which is, and always will be, incorrect.
I have no idea how often I have seen a biologically literate person painfully explain the complexities of sex and gender in humans. But even if we are just talking about sex, in which most people fall into one of two broad categories, the reality, in a very real biological sense, for some people, a not statistically insignificant number, it really really is not that simple, or binary.
And no matter how you try to legislate contrary to the science, that shit is never gonna be less false than π = 3.2. And anyone who would try to pass such legislation, or any “executive” order by an ignorant imbecile, is quite simply wrong.
