And here we thought it was assigned at birth. Who knew? /sYes, I am always yelling at my screen when I read that phrase, "assigned at birth". I wasn't "assigned" a gender, I was born female.
To: blueplum
homosexuals make up<2% of the population, trannys a fraction of that, and that's the hill RATS want to doe on?

right now, there are something like 56 ‘genders’, about half of them ‘gender-fluid’. Each one being used to leverage special treatment for financial aid, hiring preference, promotion preference, and, especially, female sports. And as a basis for ‘discrimination’ lawsuits against the US (you and me). Gender-fluidity creates cheaters that identify as ‘xyz gender’ to obtain special privilege and dilute funds/activities sent aside for women. But could well turn around and be ‘male’ a month later. And if questioned as to eligibility, he’s back to ‘gender-fluid’. There’s no way to ‘police’ cases of gender-on-demand, and no effective way to defend against discrimination lawsuits. So I’m not for ‘age 16 pick a gender’. A person is either male or female, unless they have a very rare medical condition, which we already have protections for. Any other category is just dress-up.

Is this what gets put on birth certificates now? Doc tosses a dart at the board and POOF! THIS is your gender assignment.

the most drastic move yet in a governmentwide effort to roll back recognition and protections of transgender people under federal civil rights law.Recognition and protections they've enjoyed for several months now.

the article claims 1.4Million - spawned in less than 6 years amazingly. No doubt the Dems are getting desperate for legitimate votes now that voter fraud is being investigated in more than a few states.

How about a DNA test for gender? Useful for forensics, appropriate healthcare, and might be the necessary evidence to help someone confused about their feelings.

“The left is overdoing the transgender issue.”
They should’ve stopped at getting it legally accepted, but NO... they want US to accept it, like it and celebrate it. And, if we fail to do that, they want us destroyed.

Science is only appropriate when it can be used to levy carbon taxes and teach evolution, apparently.

Trump's legal definition of sex would come under Title IX, the federal civil rights law WRT gender discrimination......
arguing that key govt agencies need to adopt an explicit and uniform definition of gender as determined
on a biological basis that is clear, grounded in science, objective and administrable.
HHS proposed definition would define sex as either male or female.... Soon lefties will know which bathroom to use. (I gotta get a new tagger.)

a better definition would exclusively involve the combinations of the X and Y chromosomes ...

Let's take a look at this word 'trans.' Here's a definition, courtesy of
Dictionary.com:
a prefix meaning on the other side of, referring to the misalignment of ones gender identity with one's biological sex assigned at birth: transgender; transsexual.
To me, the most significant word in that definition is
misalignment.
At birth, God assigns you XX or XY DNA. That assignment can never, ever be changed. Period!
You can act like the other sex but deep inside where you live you can never be the other sex.

If a man goes to a doctor and says they think they are Napoleon, they will get treated for mental disorders. They will not be given a small country to run.
If a man goes to a doctor and says they think they are a chicken, they will get treated for mental disorders. They will not be given a coop to live in.
If a man goes to a doctor and say they think they are a woman, they should get treated for mental disorders, but instead they get pills and surgery that makes them look more like a woman.
