Washington birth certificates could list sex as M, F or X
The Spokesman-Review ^ | 12-06-2017 | Jim Camden

Posted on 12/07/2017 10:17:35 AM PST by ZagFan

In considering a revision of that rule, the department is also proposing the X option to include those who are “intersex, agender, amalgagender, androgynous, bigender, demigender, female-to-male, genderfluid, genderqueer, male-to-female, neutrois, nonbinary, pangender, third sex, transgender, transsexual, Two Spirit, and unspecified.”

Puck Kalve Franta is a volunteer at the Odyssey Youth Center, an organization that supports LBGTQ youth communities. Raised as a woman, now identifying as nonbinary, Kalve Franta said it feels like lying to check “male or female” on a form.

Are we talking about ORIGINAL birth certificates here, or merely later copies, changed at a later date?

What parent would put “X” on their child’s birth certificate? As in, to be determined at some time in the future?

Funny. How will they know that by looking at a baby? I mean I get the whole male/female, innie/outie thing, but by selecting 'X', aren't you determining the baby's sex before it can identify with what it is?

WTH is “Two Spirit”?

It occurs when the father has to drink whiskey with a beer chaser to enable him to find the mother attractive enough to have sex with.

I guess we have to settle for baby steps. One day we’ll be able to use facebook to generate birth certificates and pick from 50+ options (and I hope they include “other” in case you still can’t find the right one). /sarc

A simple solution would be to have 2 options
- Penis
- No penis

The parents can pretend whatever they want, but, there is or isn’t a penis. This even includes the genetic abnormalities some people cite as a reason for a needing more that 2 sex/gender options. Even those abnormalities have an objective answer to the penis/no-penis question.

And whatever psychological abnormalities the parents inflict on their kids will be covered as well, so long as the parents don’t physically mutilate their children.

Under the proposed change, an adult could request the change by filling out a form with the necessary information and a copy of the original birth certificate, and having it notarized. For a minor to change the sex designation on a birth certificate, a parent or guardian and a licensed health care provider treating the minor would have to submit signed statements along with the notarized form.

What about the recent trend at baby showers, where the mom to be announces the sex of her baby at the party?

In those cases, she is reporting results of ultrasounds which show genitalia.

Are all these moms bigoted against the transsexual/gender bender/confused people of the world????

Genetic Science says there are two human sexes, Male and female.

Any chromosomal divergences from that are DEFECTS.
Any psychological divergences from that are DELUSIONS.

What a load of PC crap. If they want to monkey around with gender id then do it this way:

XX
XY

Problem solved.

Yep, I'm interested - in a 'watching a trainwreck' sort of way - to see what happens, for instance, in the medical field when these freaks of nature start to swing their elbows.

For instance, how will a doctor handle it when a female, now pretending to be male, shows up and demands a prostate exam? How will the doc handle it - they can't do it, "pretending" to do it will open them up to malpractice lawsuits, and refusing to play along with the patient's mental issues will open them up to discrimination lawsuits.

"May you live in interesting times", indeed.

How dare they declare the newborn a human. Let it grow up and decide for itself if wants to identify as human or alien or vegetable or whatever.

Well, we can rule you to be not even vaguely educated about the matter at hand.

No, there isn’t always an identifiable external genitalia.
