The San Diego County Board of Supervisors has adopted a new definition of “woman” that would reportedly allow male-to-female transgender residents to demand inclusion as women in jails, homeless shelters, and domestic violence shelters.
The ordinance, passed by a 3-2 vote on April 26, and ratified on May 10 by the same margin, adopts the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), an international treaty adopted in 1979.
The treaty was signed by then-President Jimmy Carter in 1980, but it was never brought to the Senate for ratification.
But the ordinance goes further, expanding the definition of “woman” to include those who simply identify as women:
F. “Women and girls” shall mean those who identify as women and girls, including transgender women and gender non-conforming, and those assigned female at birth who include non-binary, transgender men and intersex communities.
G. “Gender” shall mean the characteristics of women, men, girls, and boys that are socially constructed. As a social construct, gender can vary among cultures and can change over time.
H. “Gender equity” shall mean the redress of discriminatory practices and ensuring equitable conditions that enable women and girls to achieve full, substantive equality with men, recognizing that needs of women and men may differ, resulting in fair and equitable outcomes for all. This includes the redress of discriminatory practices and ensuring equitable conditions for persons identifying as transgender, nonbinary, and/or gender non-conforming to achieve full equality and equity.
I. “Intersectional” shall mean the interconnected nature of social categorizations and individual characteristics that overlap as interdependent and compounded systems of discrimination. These categorizations and characteristics include, but are not limited to, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, nationality, immigration status, sexual orientation, age, socio-economic status, education, language, and disability.

Didn’t San Diego used to be an island of sanity in the insane sea that is California?
Government as genderment
is death.
They forgot the girl’s shower?
Bill Gates lives in San Diego. Maybe he really wishes to be a she. I bet he undergoes the surgery soon.
Hopefully they get Alex Stein’d
Yes. They elected Pete Wilson mayor.
California = FUBAR
“Didn’t San Diego used to be an island of sanity in the insane sea that is California?”
Yes. That was once the case. Back when California elected Ronald Reagan as governor and also voted for him for president. Sadly, that was long ago. That was back when San Diego County and Orange county were two coastal conservative counties. The airport in Orange County is named after John Wayne.

Think about this one.....suppose every male in the US decided they wanted to be ID’d as a female.
Just imagine the confusion and chaos. LOL
I’d be willing to do that if enough people started the movement.
Pete Wilson is what passes as a conservative in California?
Frikkin INSANITY, and one of many reasons I am retiring at the end of the year and moving out of this State of Lunatics, and yes my High Income Salary is going with me. FU california
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an’ pretend
‘Cause I’ve heard it all before
And I’ve been down there on the floor
No one’s ever gonna keep me down again
Oh yes I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
I remember when Orange county was represented by congressman Bob “B1 Bomber” Dorgan.
Now by a latina chicka
This is what our government does now. It defines words for us and enforces them. First it was a supreme court redefining the word marriage, and now there they go in crazy california. It’s why I avoid that country. It’s like a parallel universe and you never know how the weird rules are going to bite you personally. It’s best to just stay away.
San Diego used to be called “America’s Finest City.” Now it’s in the running for “America’s Most Delusional City.”
Back in 1968, my grand aunt from San Diego came to visit my family in Ohio.. she passed away from pneumonia while she was there and we had to bring her back to San Diego. We stayed at her home while making arrangements. My sister and I got to swim in the warm Pacific ocean and visit the San Diego zoo in the interim. San Diego probably was ‘America’s finest city’ at that time. I remember it as an almost magical place and those two weeks left a strong impression. San Diego is of course nothing like that now.
No mention of chromosomes I see.
