Birth certificates ask parents if ‘woman giving birth’ is female
The New York Post ^ | 1/30/15 | Leonard Greene

A city Health Department form for new parents requesting birth certificates asks the “woman giving birth” if she’s male or female...“To be clear, it is possible for a person who has given birth to a child to identify as male,” said Susan Sommer, a lawyer for Lambda Legal, an advocacy group for lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender people.

I think all the operations in the world would NOT make that happen, and ‘stupid’ should not rule the mind...because unless they can transplant a vagina, fallopian tubes, and get eggs to disperse, it ain’t happening.

Of course with what I went through this week.....some in the medical field are concerning me. I was thinking how Obama care is planning to educate a lot of the ‘entitlement generations’ into health care/medical jobs, and that is just going to be a problem. Free Community College will probably be a large part of that...so requirements to pass will be low. OY VEY!

I knew this would be bigger someday than gay rights. And it has only just started. Personal ads are going to have to devise more initialisms: HABM and HABF—Have Always Been Male and Have Always Been Female.

DNA does not lie. Ya either got an X chromosome or ya don’t. There is no “other.”

Shouldn't they include other species as well. Isn't it possible for a person who has given birth to a child to identify as a puppy, a unicorn, or a dolphin?

Now, I’m really confused. How do you ask the “woman giving birth”, her “self-identified” sex, when YOU just labelled her a WOMAN?

I can identify as a pink flamingo but that doesn’t make me one. Guaranteed the baby isn’t popping out of a birther with a Y chromosome.

When you ask a farmer what gender is his horse, he will look at the genitalia. If the horse is pregnant or has already given birth, it’s an easy answer. What he will NOT DO is ask the horse.
