New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is going to great lengths to establish her far-left bona fides heading into the Democrat’s POTUS primary. This weekend she upped the ante even further by jumping onto the transgender rights bandwagon. When asked by a reporter, Gillibrand indicated that she would certainly be in favor of recognizing a third gender (defined as “X” or none of the above) at the federal level. (The Hill)
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) reportedly said she would support for federal recognition of a third gender Friday at a campaign event in New Hampshire.
The senator, who is running for president in 2020, told a room of LGBTQ activists that she would support a third designation of “X” at the federal level for those not identifying as a man or woman, according to CBS News.
“Yes,” Gillibrand said when asked if she would support such a designation at the federal level, according to CBS, which noted that she received applause from activists for her quick answer.
Since the campaign hasn’t responded to requests for additional comment on the subject at this point, I have to wonder if Gillibrand has really thought this one through or if she just fired off an answer from the hip that she thought would satisfy the audience at an LGBT event. She’s already established something of a reputation for saying things that are convenient at the moment and then dismissing her position later. That was the case during her one debate with her Senate opponent during the last election when she pledged to serve her full six-year term if re-elected. She abandoned that one in less than 24 hours.
But now that she’s on the record, it may be time to ask her what happened to that whole thing about Democrats being “the party of science.” That’s the position they claim to take every time the subject of climate change comes up. But there is absolutely zero, zilch, nada evidence in medical science that human beings can be some sort of “third gender” or be “genderless” if they decide they don’t feel like one or the other. The only exceptions would be intersex individuals with genetic aberrations to the 23rd chromosomal pair. Such individuals should be able to pick whichever gender they prefer (of the two available choices) for purposes of legal classification. But as for the other 99.99% of the population, applying such a standard to legal documents can cause any number of complications for everything from law enforcement needs to federal allocation programs.
To be clear, you can call yourself whatever you want. I don’t object to it personally and the government has no business suppressing your speech in that fashion. But just because you happen to be in denial of reality, that doesn’t mean that the rest of us (or the government) are under any obligation to go along with your views. Gillibrand is running off to join the circus of politicians beclowning themselves in an effort to establish themselves at the far leftmost extreme of the ideological spectrum. But looking at the latest poll numbers, she isn’t making the sale to the socialist base thus far and it’s tough to imagine this will do the trick.

DSM-5 defines ‘gender dysphoria’, previously known as ‘gender identity disorder’. It is, but one of many mental and emotional disorders or illnesses.
Of course here in Kanaduh, I am asking for a visit from the local po-po for speaking truth rather than swallowing (and repeating) politically correct gubmint of Kanaduh propaganda.
Of course the poor lost souls saddled with such dysphoria, believe the gubmint is there to ‘help them’, rather than garner their vote, discarding them when the next SJW ‘cause’ arises. The ranks of the ‘left’ is FULL of the mentally ill.

If you look up flaming idiot in the dictionary there is a picture of Gillibrand staring back at you.
Ironically if you look up evil communist dirt bag you will see the same thing. This female thing sure gets around.

Dumbest thing I ever heard of, unless “idiot” qualifies as a third gender.

Could we please stop using the grammatical term gender when referring to the sex of human beings?

I am em-bare-ass-ed that Kirsten Gillibrand and Chucky Schumer are my senators.
EVIL, that’s what they are.

Sorry, but they are SEXES not “genders”! STOP using the left’s lingo. It’ not accurate!
“Genders” are masculine and feminine in language.
As in le and la.
There are only TWO “sexes”. I read it in a good book!
