Obama: ‘Sex’ And ‘Gender’ Are Different Things
The Daily Caller ^ | May 11, 2015 | by Scott Greer

President Barack Obama believes “gender” and “sex” are different things.

In a Monday press release issued to support National Women’s Health Week, Obama declared that affordable health care is a fundamental right — for all sexes and genders.

“The security of quality, affordable health care should not be a privilege — it should be a fundamental right for every person, regardless of their sex or gender,” Obama stated in the proclamation.

The distinction made by the president reflects a growing movement to emphasize that the two words mean different things. According to the World Health Organization, sex “refers to the biological and physiological characteristics that define men and women,” while gender “refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviours, activities, and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for men and women.”

Here is the thing that I am struggling with . . . would I rather see a photo of 0bama romping around with Reggie Love or a photo of Bill and Hillary romping around on a beach together?

I swear, it is keeping me awake at night? I wake up screaming.

the photo was taken with an extremely long lens, the optics of such lenses always flattens out distances between near objects....making them appear even closer together than they actually are.

but no it wouldnt have been at all surprising if Obie and Reggie had been holding hands

He’s right - it wasn’t oral gender that Bill Clinton had when he occupied that office

Gender: the state of being male or female.

"To be or not to be, that is the question."

People do not have gender. Words have gender. “He” is masculine gender. “She” is the third person pronoun in the feminine gender. I don’t care what the leftists at the university say. They are full of crap.

Sex Nondisjunction was the term used for it some time ago. Because sometimes you don’t get XX or XY, but rather, you get XXY, XYY, or XXX, all of these conditions cause an individual to show traits of both genders, and also makes the person sterile, so I sort of doesn’t matter which configuration of male or female they give those of this rare condition at birth, they can’t have children regardless.

“Gender” is a grammatical term. The number of genders in different languages varies from 2 to more than 20. English does not use genders.

Yeah. Sex is biological. Gender is fiction.

Yep. Words have genders, people have sexes. The idea of pigeonholing each separate sexual deviation and lumping the whole thing together under the rubric of "gender" is an intellectual con game.

When I first learned the word “gender” it was limited to English grammar. All of a sudden the word sex was too explicit to describe what is now known as gender.

"‘Sex’ And ‘Gender’ Are Different Things"

Only to a deviate. This statement is merely defining deviacy downward.

If something is a right you don’t have to pay for it and neither does ANYONE else. Right Obama? OOPS. better not give him any ideas. Soon, doctors will be the slave class. How dare some talented and dedicated person spend 10 years of their lives getting PHD in the healing sciences to make a profit. They should work for free because someone has a right to their labor. Slavery for all. OOPS. I mean. It’s their right. Right?
