HHS issues new definitions of terms like ‘sex,’ ‘man’ and ‘woman’ that critics say ignore science (CNN)

In one of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s first moves as secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services, the agency released guidance Wednesday for the US government, external partners and the public that offers a narrower definition of sex than the ones used by many scientists and that aligns with a January executive order signed by President Donald Trump.

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

Clarifications:

1) Restored the old definitions which at one time did not have to be made explicit in law and regulation.
2) Emphasis added. Ignoring many scientists is not ignoring science. The alternative involves ignoring other scientists.

perversion is a behavior, it is not an identity.

California is going to have a hard time interfacing with the federal government now because they’ve “de-gendered” all language in their legal statues and documents.

The executive order was correct. Scientifically rigid definition is by the sex cells the organism is organized to produce.

It’s either sperm or eggs.

The high school biology case of XX or XY works for 99.99% of the cases, but the sperm or eggs based definition works for all.

The same people that say “believe the science”, are the ones who also say a man is a woman if he says so...

Why show I ever ‘believe the science” ever again?
