WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is considering narrowly defining gender as a biological, immutable condition determined by genitalia at birth, the most drastic move yet in a governmentwide effort to roll back recognition and protections of transgender people under federal civil rights law.
... the Department of Health and Human Services is spearheading an effort to establish a legal definition of sex under Title IX, the federal civil rights law that bans gender discrimination in education programs that receive government financial assistance, according to a memo obtained by The New York Times. The department argued in its memo that key government agencies needed to adopt an explicit and uniform definition of gender as determined “on a biological basis that is clear, grounded in science, objective and administrable.” The agency’s proposed definition would define sex as either male or female....
The definition is integral to two proposed rules currently under review at the White House: One from the Education Department deals with complaints of sex discrimination at schools and colleges receiving federal financial assistance; the other, from health and human services, deals with health programs and activities that receive federal funds or subsidies. Both regulations are expected to be released this fall, and would then be open for public comment, typically for 60 days.
...Civil rights groups have been meeting with federal officials in recent weeks to argue against the proposed definition....

I hope it happens. I can hardly wait for insane tyrannies to stage sit ins at public potties
How will Target stores handle this?
Yes, I am always yelling at my screen when I read that phrase, "assigned at birth". I wasn't "assigned" a gender, I was born female.
homosexuals make up<2% of the population, trannys a fraction of that, and that's the hill RATS want to doe on?
right now, there are something like 56 ‘genders’, about half of them ‘gender-fluid’. Each one being used to leverage special treatment for financial aid, hiring preference, promotion preference, and, especially, female sports. And as a basis for ‘discrimination’ lawsuits against the US (you and me). Gender-fluidity creates cheaters that identify as ‘xyz gender’ to obtain special privilege and dilute funds/activities sent aside for women. But could well turn around and be ‘male’ a month later. And if questioned as to eligibility, he’s back to ‘gender-fluid’. There’s no way to ‘police’ cases of gender-on-demand, and no effective way to defend against discrimination lawsuits. So I’m not for ‘age 16 pick a gender’. A person is either male or female, unless they have a very rare medical condition, which we already have protections for. Any other category is just dress-up.
Is this what gets put on birth certificates now? Doc tosses a dart at the board and POOF! THIS is your gender assignment.
Recognition and protections they've enjoyed for several months now.
The Poof part is correct.
the article claims 1.4Million - spawned in less than 6 years amazingly. No doubt the Dems are getting desperate for legitimate votes now that voter fraud is being investigated in more than a few states.
LOL! I thought it was “poofter”.
How about a DNA test for gender? Useful for forensics, appropriate healthcare, and might be the necessary evidence to help someone confused about their feelings.
Best Affirmation. (Make that the brand name at CVS.)
Thank. Friken. God.
Return of sanity!
MAGA!!!!!!
“The left is overdoing the transgender issue.”
They should’ve stopped at getting it legally accepted, but NO... they want US to accept it, like it and celebrate it. And, if we fail to do that, they want us destroyed.
Science is only appropriate when it can be used to levy carbon taxes and teach evolution, apparently.
Soon lefties will know which bathroom to use. (I gotta get a new tagger.)
a better definition would exclusively involve the combinations of the X and Y chromosomes ...
Yeah exactly. The left never knows when to stop.
At birth, God assigns you XX or XY DNA. That assignment can never, ever be changed. Period!
You can act like the other sex but deep inside where you live you can never be the other sex.
If a man goes to a doctor and says they think they are Napoleon, they will get treated for mental disorders. They will not be given a small country to run.
If a man goes to a doctor and says they think they are a chicken, they will get treated for mental disorders. They will not be given a coop to live in.
If a man goes to a doctor and say they think they are a woman, they should get treated for mental disorders, but instead they get pills and surgery that makes them look more like a woman.
