According to a report by the New York Times, the Trump administration is again looking at ways to attack the rights of transgender people in the United States. A memo released by the Department of Health and Human Services showed an effort to narrow the definition of gender to male or female, and for that assignation to be unchangeable from birth.
“Sex means a person’s status as male or female based on immutable biological traits identifiable by or before birth,” read the memo. “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.”
During the Obama administration, civil rights protections were expanded to better include transgender people. Under the Trump administration, those protections are being undone systematically. From attempts to ban trans people from serving in the military, and remove questions about gender identity from the 2020 Census, to rolling back protections related to health care and housing, Trump’s policies regarding transgender Americans has repeatedly been called cruel.
The director of the Office for Civil Rights at the Department of Health and Human Services, Roger Severino, was formally the head of the DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society at the Heritage Foundation, the Times reports. He called the Obama era expansion for the definitions of sex and gender to be “radical gender ideology.”
According to the Times, a new definition will likely be presented to the Justice Department by the end of this year. If successful, the narrower definition would strip an estimated 1.4 million people of a legal recognition of their gender identity. This would result in loss of rights ranging from housing to healthcare to education.
The National Center for Transgender Equality called the proposal “an attempt to put restraints on the lives of 2 million people, effectively abandoning our right to equal access to health care, to housing, to education, or to fair treatment under the law.”

But that’s not really what this discussion is about, is it?
It’s really about some XYs wanting, identifying with and pretending to be XXs. And vice versa, but not so much.
Transjesters?
The only “rights” a transgender ought to have are the rights accorded every citizen.
Couldn't find it.
Maybe I have a reading disability.
The only right in this list is fair treatment under the law. That right can only be asexual and gender-neutral, negating their whole twisted argument.
Actually it’s instantly assigned at conception, depending on which sperm shags the ovum.
A simple, but violent solution, as told to me by a CCW instructor.
“Grab their belt buckle. Stick the snubby muzzle inside the trousers and shoot down.”
I leave the rest to your own interpretation.
Terrifying??? I suppose reality does frighten LIB lunatics.
Aw, can’t keep someone from firing you for laziness, incompetence or insubordination now by claiming it was about your transgenderism? That is the ONLY reason you perverts want to claim that status, to protect you in a job where you’re not doing your job.
This entire sickening subject is crazy.
Nobody cares. You ceetainly whine and complain alot while offering nothing, dont you?
Neither do they want to train diabetics, blind and lame people for combat positions. Wahhhhhhhhhhhh! Unfair!
.
Its all a farce!
Iiving creatures do not have “Gender.”
Only non-living things can have ‘Gender.’ (nouns, salutations, adjectives, threaded fittings)
End the farce now.
.
A ‘cut’ is a fart!
Who clicks on farts?
FR does not exist to boost BS blogs.

Exact!y it sounds like this law will level the playing field equal rights not special rights. Reality not make believe.
Drama queens.
the only trrified people are mentallly ill sexual deviants
So called “transgenders” are entitled to the same
Rights as any one of either sex.
Two sexes, two genders, how complicated is that?
Unless of course you’re mentally unbalanced.
“Terrifying to who, exactly?”
Terrifying to any lib, mostly because its President Trump.
