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 agencys 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....

Oh, the horror!!!
What a Drag ,LOL
NOT Identified by genitalia at birth!! Gender is identified by DNA at birth! There are genetic anomalies, but those are rare. And there is still an identifiable gender with most of the genetic anomalies. PERIOD.
“looking forward to going back to ‘mens’ and ‘womens’ bathrooms.”
No kidding. I hope this is true and that it happens. The move toward it-ism is deeply disturbing and our society needs to be straightened out.
Great! About time for us to stop letting those with a mental illness, and those exploiting that mental illness for political purposes, to determine how our society operates
The mentally ill left have created protected classes, where these classes can virtually say or do anything they dammed well please to anyone who just disagrees with them or not, another way to isolate and attack. The progressive sh##hole cities controlled by these rats have commandeered the ladies bathrooms and now have made them transgender bathrooms and allowed the perverts who claim to be transgender into a ladies room protected by the laws passed by these perverted rats. I cant wait till after the successful midterms and we start crushing these rat bastards where they stand
Sex is defined by XX and XY, a fact that the Science Deniers on the Satanic Left refuse to accept.
“transgenderism” is just racism and bigotry against the norm of nature.
The left uses this to discriminate, browbeat, stigmatize, and ostracize anyone who does not agree with THEIR definition of “normal”.
The left has no true definition of “wrong”, no matter how any thinking person defines it, whether by a religious or secular point of view. Stealing is wrong, but do not politicians snakily do it? Murder is wrong, but does not a politician in a speech condone it? Displacement of a constituent from their home is wrong, but is that not what “eminent domain”, when used to get a new business in that district, is?
I have always believed that anything other than the two genders is sick, and if forced upon a people, anywhere in the world, those people have the right to eradicate them, for the good and future continuance of that society.
(billy boys in Thailand for instance.)
it’s not a mental disorder, it’s a mental choice.
thoughts can be controlled if one wants to. these delusional people choose not to challenge their thoughts or reason properly. They choose to be mental babies, not maturing in reasoning skills and accepting truth of facts (gender).
In other matters, i used to see myself as victim for many years, over came it, ALL thanks be to God.
These people don’t accept God and His power and plans for them but want their own plans and the comfort of their mind rather than let God show them His purposes and ability to help anyone willing overcome any mind issue, and so they remain selfishly stuck.
And they are not ok with just that, now they want to force more societal and law changes to make us all accept their delusions.
It’s not illness its choice - just as many others eat, drink, spend,over exercise, otherwise make choices that effect their stress, body, mind, create health problems and don’t want to admit they did it to themselves.
If true, this is dumb! Dna should determine gender. Any number of y chromosomes is male. All x and no y chromosomes is female.x

“The Trump administration is considering narrowly defining gender as a biological, immutable condition determined by genitalia at birth....”
So which side of the political spectrum is it that is anti-science?
Yes, me too! The "glorification" of a minuscule segment of our population's aberrant sexual deviancy needs to end. There has always been a small segment of the population that ends up being wired up wrong. I can accept that, but I cannot accept that we have to somehow "normalize" what is not in the least normal.
NOT at birth. At CONCEPTION.
Zing em again!
IF I were running a business, I would be very tempted to bring in a single Porta Pottie-—room for only one at a time.
“Gender should be assigned by genitalia and chromosomes at birth.”
Sex is assigned at birth. Your birth certificate says you are either a male or female.
When you turn 16 you can assign your own gender. You get a nice drivers license with all your gender specific information. However, on the card it still says “Sex (XX/XY)” It is actually a fair compromise. Your gender can be female, but your sex is still male.
Not genitalia -- chromosomes. XY = Male; XX = Female. The rare statistical exceptions can be handled case by case.
Well said.
Thank you President Trump for your sanity.
Justice Anthony (mass murderer) Kennedy will find that unconstitutional. Oh wait .....
Its determined at the moment the chromosomes are formed. If theres a Y youre a boy. If not, youre a girl.
