RFK Jr’s first move as Health Secretary sparks outrage from transgender advocates

Robert F Kennedy Jr has taken aim at transgender language in one of his first acts as health secretary.

His new agency, the Department of Health and Human Services, released new guidance for the government and public that gives a narrower definition of sex.

The February 19 memo states that the move will support the President's executive orders intended to 'restore the concept of biological truth in federal government and defend women'.

The new HHS document says only two sexes will be recognized: male and female.

It also provides new, narrow definitions of words like 'sex,' 'female,' 'woman,' 'girl,' male,' 'man', 'boy', 'mother' and 'father'.

RFK Jr, a former Democrat, said: 'The prior administration's policy of trying to engineer gender ideology into every aspect of public life is over.'

The department also launched a website promoting these definitions and created a video defending a ban on transgender women participating in women's sports.

It is good to have the insane as your enemies and not your allies.

Now those rogue judges have no judicial arguments against Trump and transgender, officially per our government there is only 2, man and women, therefore transgenders are mentally deficient and unfit for service.

The fact that this is a thing that has to be defined shows how far we have slid as a country...

Male
Female

Somehow liberals have made this a controversy...

RFJ Jr knows the difference between a man and a woman.

He's done his research.

HHS Secy RFK Jr is on target, saying: ‘The prior administration’s policy
of trying to engineer gender ideology into every aspect of public life is over.’

His department also launched a website promoting traditional definitions
of ‘sex,’ ‘female,’ ‘woman,’ ‘girl,’ male,’ ‘man’, ‘boy’, ‘mother’ and ‘father’.

He created a video defending a ban on transgenders participating in women’s sports.

The idea this ever even HAD to be done is uncanny. The dems are perverts.
