It must be an election year. (Oh, who am I kidding? It’s always an election year these days.) Having apparently solved all of the other problems plaguing the Big Apple, Mayor Bill de Blasio took to the stump this weekend to announce that there would be a change to birth certificates issued by New York City. From now on, new parents won’t be bothered by any confusing questions about gender at the hospital after their new bundle of joy comes into the world. If their new baby is born with either a penis or a vagina but they’re still just not sure whether it’s a boy or a girl they can simply select an “x” in the gender box. Similarly, any adults who can’t quite figure out their own anatomy for themselves will be able to retroactively change to an “x” even if they haven’t had any “corrective” surgery. (Associated Press)
People born in New York City who do not identify their gender as either male or female would have the option of choosing a third category for their birth certificates under a new proposal.
Mayor Bill de Blasio and City Council Speaker Corey Johnson said the new category of “X” would be available through the proposal, which is expected to be introduced by Johnson on Thursday with public hearings to be held later this month.
Currently, if parents of a newborn do not want to identify a sex, they can say the sex of the child is undetermined or unknown. The “X” category would be something adults could choose for their own birth certificate.
If it passes, New York City would join California, Oregon and Washington in having the third category on birth certificates, while Washington, D.C. allows it on driver’s licenses.
Since June is Pride Month and plenty of New York Democrats are up for election again, this rather transparent ploy isn’t too hard to figure out. But it does lead to a couple of pressing questions. For one thing, you may be wondering what New York City is doing making changes to birth certificates. Doesn’t the state control that? In most places, that’s how it works, but this is New York so we’re… special. Enshrined in state law is a provision granting the city control of handling birth certificates in the five boroughs.
Of course, this provides an excellent way for someone to disappear from public records without going off the grid if they are dodging alimony payments or avoiding a restraining order taken out by their ex. When you combine the ability to change the gender on your ID with the fact that transgender Big Apple residents can also change their name without publishing it in the paper (as is required almost everywhere), you can vanish from most searches not done by a professional detective.
Do you think that might confuse some police officers if they were looking for a suspect and randomly pulled them over? It used to be that you couldn’t get a picture taken for your license without wearing your glasses if you needed them to drive. Knowing who people are is a rather critical factor in law enforcement, not to mention banking, real estate and most all other aspects of modern life. But now, thanks to social justice warrior policies and feckless politicians, you can just modify everything however you wish. Isn’t progress just amazing?
Maybe a be a smart move for for white male babies.
At least they can apply for women only scholarships when it is time for college.
Lots of them out there - especially in STEM.
Being able to lie on your birth certificate is a victory?
Don’t forget to claim to be native American to get that casino money.
There are only two genders, God didn’t cook any alphabet soup.
“X” marks the spot?
DNA test them. Only about 1 in 69,000 are noticeably ambiguous. What we see in popular media are a collection of myths.
Maybe they should use a scale for gender of like 1 to 10 with one being Male and 10 being Female, so the kid can later come back and pick a different number as their gender fluids flow...
And people think “Idiocracy” is a vision of the FUTURE.
But isn’t Pride Month for gay people? How can parents choose the newborn’s sexual orientation? Babies really aren’t into sex. I thought we could love whom we want?
Hmm. Notice how they not only made marriage certificates meaningless with “homosexual marriage” and no-fault “divorce” (as Lenin did), but now even birth certificates won’t mean anything and can’t be used for identity purposes (which is the only reason for them).
The Marxists are succeeding in destroying our language, making it irrational, making legal documents irrational and stupid, and totally removed from Reality and Truth (God) so they can flip 2000 years of Ethics back to serf/dumb//slave days when children were raised to be ignorant and dumb, so they would never be smart enough to rebel.
My little children all knew if they were male or female by age two. Now, you have adults who can’t tell if they are male or female and worse-—they lie and “think” they are what they are not and they even mutilate their bodies and drug themselves to look the part-— and they use our LEGAL SYSTEM to force their insanity on us.
It is removal of Right Reason and Natural Law from Just Laws and is unconstitutional. The State should not be able to lie on any legal document, period. Why aren’t these politicians and judges who allow such removal of truth and reason from our government in prison for treason?
Spirit of antichrist. These people are beyond help.
Seriously beyond help.
The flight from reality into fantasy continues...
I’m a cantaloupe!
And we must respect your decision to be brave and forthcoming. (j/k) - ;)
We hereby declaring July as Cantaloupe Pride Month!
(you know, the liberals just might try it.....)
or womens’ atheletic scholarships.. can’t fill all of them.. You probably only have to be able to play at freshmen/sopHmore HS level in most sports to dominate at college woman level.
“born with either a penis or a vagina“
When I was a kid these folks were usually a headliner at one of the tent attractions at the county fair. I often wonder if Hillary Clinton had been born a couple of decades earlier if I might have seen her on the midway, oh my brain just blew a gasket at that thought.
My thoughts exactly - they can even get female sports scholarships.
These idiots think they are enlightened; they are just showing they’re crazy. Soon every women will be asked the Philly cheesesteak question: “Wit or witout (the weiner)?”.
Still more proof that DiBlasio is both pro-crime and anti-science...
BRONDO! It's what plants crave.
