President Donald Trump’s deputies have restored the biology-based definition of sexual discrimination in federal healthcare rules, ending the novel transgender definition, which was inserted by President Barack Obama.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) “will continue to vigorously enforce federal civil rights laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age, and sex in healthcare, as Section 1557 provides,” according to a statement released by the agency.
In its 2016 regulation, the Obama administration redefined “sex discrimination” as “gender discrimination.”
But the definition of “gender” that is pushed by transgender activists says that each person’s legal sex is determined by their personal feelings about their male or female nature.
In combination, this two-step process essentially allowed men to declare themselves to be women, and to threaten federal punishments against doctors, nurses, and others who refuse to publicly agree with their claim to have changed sexes. It would also have allowed women to force people to agree that they have somehow become men.
Progressives endorsed this plan because it gives them and their allies the power to rewrite civic rules about sexual privacy, sports, and social rankings.
Conservatives and feminists point out that this two-step change would essentially eliminate any recognition of women’s biology from the sex-discrimination law. It would mean that men could sweep women’s sports competitions, win scholarships for women, and enter women’s spaces, such as showers.
So the HHS change restores women’s rights by defining sexual discrimination in the context of binary, biological, male-or-female society.

Osama Obama tried for 8 years to destroy this Republic and, I believe, as the head of th deep state is still trying to do that.
Obama changed this law without valid authority. Trump just changed it back.
The next election decides whether we still have a country or not. I for one am exhausted by ever higher stakes with every election. Years ago you won, you lost and things shifted little one way or the other. That is finished from here on out the country is on the line with every election.
At some point many Democrats will abandon radical leftism and racism as the only reason for their existence. They will want security and freedom. Their bastions in group thinking urban centers will dwindle.
I agree, very problematic.
I here I though I could move [did...] and coast it out to my end of times.
Very high acceleration of change this year. Seems unlikely to diminish.
‘bout time. Guys who think they are women winning all the women’s sports trophies really pissed me off. VERY unfair.
Your DNA, and therefore your sex, is forever.

One thing we know is true leftists will always turn on each other eventually
you just have to hope it happens before they destroy everything else first.
Plus, the really frustrating thing is that if the normals win by some freak of nature, it only puts off the next high stakes hurdle till the next election. If the anti-normals win, they will try to fundamentally change the game so that they can never be kicked out. So not only is it high stakes, but asymmetrically high.
I disagree. Nancy and Chuck and GropinJoe are going to be driven out on a rail by under -40 Former Democrats who will remake the party something more like Labour plus Greens, with all the nutrootery anti-Israel anti-capitalist hogwash. Pence will have a real shot at Trumps 3rd term due to this overdue realignment.
WINNING!!!
Glad that novel gendervirus is cured
