Trump Admin might narrow legal definition of gender using science over feelings

The failing New York Times had a fake news Sunday headline that read: "Trump Administration Eyes Defining Transgender Out of Existence." It sounds as if the administration is going to totally get rid of transgenderism, and if you're a leftist, that's probably what you'd believe. Except it isn't even remotely true.

Transgenders exist and nobody is saying they don't. But guys who think they're gals and have their "twig and berries" removed don't magically become gals just because the guy thinks he's one.

The story's lead read: "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 government-wide effort to roll back recognition and protections of transgender people under federal civil rights law."

The article then blathered on to say that a series of decisions by Barack Obama, "loosened the legal concept of gender in federal programs," leading to "fights over bathrooms, dormitories, single-sex programs and other arenas where gender was once seen as a simple concept."

Because it is!

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) attempted to ease the "fights" and seeks to define sex under Title IX, which is the federal civil rights law that outlaws gender discrimination in education programs.

"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, unchangeable, and determined by the genitals that a person is born with, according to a draft reviewed by The New York Times. Any dispute about one's sex would have to be clarified using genetic testing," The Times writes.

The HHS memo said, "Sex means a person's status as male or female based on immutable biological traits identifiable by or before birth. The sex listed on a person's birth certificate, as originally issued, shall constitute definitive proof of a person's sex unless rebutted by reliable genetic evidence."

So when Trump disregards climate change, he's a science denier, but when he wants to use science to determine the sex of a person, he isn't taking into account how a person feels about his or her "true gender," or the science he is using is wrong.

The truth is, if this new definition of gender is accepted, nobody's rights are going to be taken away based on their true gender. But if a man who thinks he's a woman wants to enter a women's bathroom, he's going to have to find a men's bathroom.

Having a part of your body removed or mutilated does not change your gender/sex. You can do it if you want, but you're still the gender your chromosomes dictate that you are.
