Dems: ‘Cruel and Unscientific’ to Define Sex by Biology


98 Democrats are lashing out at the Trump administration with a complaint in the wake of a New York Times’ report that the administration is planning on formally clarifying that the sex of people involved in sex-discrimination legal disputes will be based on their sex assigned at birth.

In the complaint, Democrats say that it is “cruel and unscientific” to define a person’s legal sex by their biology.

Trump’s biology-determines-sex policy “makes it clear that members of this administration are willing to … solidify an archaic, dogmatic, and alarming view of the world,” the Democrats complain their letter to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The Democrats and transgender advocates want government agencies to let people define their legal sex by declaring their internal feeling of male or female “gender identity,” regardless of their male or female body and biology.

Yet there is no scientific or legal measure of “gender identity.” For example, one gay advocacy group defines gender identity as “One’s innermost concept of self as male, female, a blend of both or neither.” So any person could claim to have an opposite-sex “gender identity” and become a member of the other sex at any time, for as long or short a time as they wish.

This identity-beats-biology change would erase any recognition of biological women and biological men from the law. For example, the transgender ideology says the idea of “women” would include men and women who say they have a female “gender identity.” Women who insist they are women would be redefined as “cis-gender women,” say transgender advocates.

If gender defines sex, the nation’s anti-discrimination laws will force agencies, civic organizations, and cultural groups to bar recognition of the partly-different and complementary preferences and attributes of males and females.

This revolutionary change would have profound consequences. For one minor example, a female theater director could face an anti-discrimination lawsuit if she repeatedly chooses women to play the female leads in Romeo and Juliet, even when the show is aimed at a female audience. In November, the company that sells Victoria’s Secret lingerie products was slammed because it does not use a mix of interchangeable men and women to model their clothing for women.

Already, women are being erased from women’s sporting competitions when supposedly “transgender” men muscle their way to the winners’ podium.

The 98 Democrats include Massachusetts Rep. Joe Kennedy, Kentucky Rep. John Yarmuth, Connecticut’s Reps. Elizabeth Esty and Joe Courtney, New Jersey Reps. Frank Pallone and Donald Norcross, Oregon Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, Maine Rep. Chellie Pingree, Texas Rep. Lloyd Doggett, New York Reps. Sean Patrick Maloney and Brian Higgins, California Rep. Scott Peters, Pennsylvania Reps. Brendan Boyle and Robert Brady, Washington Rep. Derek Kilmer, Minnesota Rep. Rick Nolan, and Illinois Rep. Mike Quigley.

Rep. Kennedy is chairman of a Transgender Equality Task Force panel in Congress.

    How can this be considered “unscientific” since every species on the planet are defined as being either male or female for identity purposes. I’m not aware of any male dog (even a liberal one) that has whined about his sexual identity. It is a BASIC rule, just like Black & White, Left & Right, Up & Down.
    Given how liberal democrats love word games, I’m surprised that they are not, as yet, rewriting the entire Webster’s Dictionary to fit their whims and agenda.
