No, that’s not a typo.
A city Health Department form for new parents requesting birth certificates asks the “woman giving birth” if she’s male or female.
Along with routine questions — mother’s maiden name, mother’s legal name, mother’s Social Security number — is a gender question that has raised a few eyebrows.
And just in case the inquiry is not clear, the birth-certificate request provides a convenient check box and asks the question in capital letters. “What is your DATE OF BIRTH, current AGE and SEX?” the form asks in the section clearly marked “Mother/Parent (Woman Giving Birth).”
“To be clear, it is possible for a person who has given birth to a child to identify as male,” said Susan Sommer, a lawyer for Lambda Legal, an advocacy group for lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender people.
Sommer said that given various transgender stages, there is room for the person who gives birth to check the male box.
Not to leave the father out, the form asks dads the same question and gives them the same check-box options. Only there’s no “giving birth” notation in that section. While the “sex” question might baffle some new parents, experts said the birth certificate form was created several years ago and was born out of the marriage equality movement.
Until a change in the form was made, married gay and lesbian couples had to go to court to secure their names on birth certificates, a legal hurdle that blocked parental rights that most people took for granted.

"To be clear" -- REALLY?...somebody said their attempt to confuse and "complexify" simple biology "clarifies" things? (Only in an LGBT fantasy world)
Oh, and speaking of clarity, given that with..."various transgender stages there is room for the person who gives birth to check the male box" -- what I don't understand is why the birth certificate doesn't provide a box to check for BOTH: female AND male...or maybe even "OTHER" since somebody could "self-identify" as something OTHER than either or both!!!
Good thing to know that the LGBT is giving NY City Health Department bureaucrats job security!
Insanity endorsed as sane by government.
Tough times.
Gee, back in Health101 class they only told us about two sexes. Now with BHO’s 57 sexes, it feels like we got cheated real badly ?
I give whole blood on a regular basis. I always answer questions about my health on the date of donation.
Recently they ask me if I am the same gender as when I was born. It threw me the first time. Now I answer “I think so”.
They are actually stating, for real, that biological males can give birth and biological females can father children..
The stupid is strong...
You can call yourself a Volkswagon for all I care, but you're still a biologic female.
Why must everyone else be a part of YOUR insanity?
Call me when a male human gives birth.
I'm sure that the National Enquirer would love that story.
I wonder why more and more people in this country are trying to appear as being hopelessly retarded. It has become epidemic in the public servant industry.

I see what they are saying here, I may have been born a white guy but I identify myself as a half white half black communist muslim raised in Indonesia.
No wonder Joan Rivers said “she” was a tranny.
And maybe even born in Kenya...with a Connecticut social security card!
If a woman can identify as a man then anybody can identify as anything. Races or sexes. I can even see some idiots trying one day to identify as animals. That’s the road we are heading down.

Idiocracy was a documentary.
“...asks the “woman giving birth” if she’s male or female.”
SMH.
And the box for the baby’s sex? Why don’t they have multiple choices there too? According to liberal thinking, sex is just a continuum, and a person can move freely from one to another, possible multiple times in one’s life.
Society is becoming a caricature of itself.
If so, Susie; they'd get shifted to the PSYCHE ward to deliver!
There went MY breakfast!
