More at the link. NYTimes say they have a memo, so going on that bit, one might guess this will be the next 'crisis' the Dems will try to exploit. Personally, I'm looking forward to going back to 'mens' and 'womens' bathrooms.

I doubt it will go so far as the story suggests, but we must acknowledge biology and distinguish between culture and fantasy.

Transgender is only a matter of degree removed from trans-dragon where we typically expect a bit of prosthesis, some reconstruction, . . . , and a fuel supply and ignition source.

“The Trump administration is considering narrowly defining gender as a biological, immutable condition determined by genitalia at birth, the most drastic move yet in a governmentwide effort to roll back recognition and protections of transgender people under federal civil rights law.”

Stupid idea. Maybe one in 80,000 people https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/swyer-syndrome#statistics have genitalia that do not match their chromosomes, but they exist and are ruthlessly exploited by the Anything-Goes-Democrats. It’s better to define sex based on chromosomes as the only area where government has any interest at all in a person’s sex, with even that interest being extremely limited. Legislate government out of anything to do with the “gender” nonsense that it matters whether a person “identifies” as a boy, girl, puppy or houseplant. French, German, and Spanish nouns have gender, but people don’t.

XX= Female

XY= Male

It’s SCIENCE!

Transgender doesn’t exist, sounds like some sanity creeping in

"Transgenderism" was only defined into existence. It isn't real, and what is happening is that the kiddies are being told that make-believe playtime is over. They're not happy about it.

Those afflicted with sexual dysphoria need to be treated, not indulged. It isn't very many people but it is very real. The rest are welcome to play princess but not to demand that the rest of society validate it by playing along.

We need to stop saying “gender” (a primarily linguistic term) when we are referring to sex.

Sex is determined long before birth, at the moment of conception. Of course Libs want to deny any significance to conception.
