Why can't we keep using "men and women" and "mother and father"? That's worked fine for a few thousand years.
A young woman who came to the pregnancy center where I work shared this story with me. She had a pediatrician appointment for her baby girl last week. She brought her infant, dressed all in pink, into the doctor's office. After stating the baby's female name, the doctor asked, "So, have you decided what gender you're assigning to this child?"
She was stunned. She said she just stood there until the word "female" came out of her mouth.
This wasn't the first time I've heard this line of questioning in a pediatrician's office. A friend told me her daughter was asked the same thing on her first visit to the doctor's office with their infant son.
The question, "gender assigned at birth" is now on many medical forms. A man I know was at a new doctors' office and the paperwork included an entire page on "gender identity." He wrote male, crossed off everything else on the page and wrote "I don't participate in the gender craze."
The term, "gender assigned at birth" would have been laughable ten years ago. Now the identity cult tells us we may only use words they approve of, words that are -- to them -- preferable to men and women, male and female, mother and father.
Since June 2002, New York State has allowed people to choose X, male, or female for their driver's license or birth certificate, further legitimizing the belief that there are genders beyond male and female. "Every person, regardless of their gender identity or expression, deserves to have an identity document that reflects who they are," celebrated Governor Kathy Hochul.

Trans is club they beat God to death with in their own minds and by law.
At that point the young pregnant woman should have said something like “This appointment is finished,” and walked out of the office to get another doctor. I can’t imagine trusting a doctor for anything with a start like that.
