President Donald Trump is defending all women from legal and cultural erasure by the transgender lobby, say medical and legal experts.
“This is the irony … he is the U.S. women’s rights champion” because he is preventing men from inserting themselves into the legal and cultural definition of women, said Dr. Michelle Cretella, the executive director of the American College of Pediatricians.
“It is true … Yes, oh my God,” she said as she laughed at the irony.
“What Transgenderism requires is that [the term] ‘gender identity’ replace ‘sex’ in the law,” Cretella told Breitbart News. If that happens, then men who say they have a female “gender identity” will be legally defined by the federal government as women, and “we can longer distinguish legally between males and females … [because we] have just eliminated the [biology-based] legal definition of women,” she said.
“That is female erasure by definition,” she said.
Transgender activists “are trying to erase the male and female [sexes] and turn [society] into a mishmash of 50 or 93 [gender] whatevers,” said Dr. Jane Orient, the executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. Their political goal is difficult to appreciate, she said, because “it is hard to think about things that are really crazy.”
Trump hinted at this larger political fight on Monday when he was asked about his agency’s proposal to document each person’s sex by their biology, not by their declared “Gender Identity,” which was the policy pushed by President Barack Obama. Officials need to define “sex” because federal laws bar discrimination based on sex.

I am a lesbian trapped in a man’s body because I want to use the women’s showers.
Isn’t trans-whatever-isn gender appropriation?
Sorry, I not prepared to get my Johnson lopped off just to see naked women.
I feel that I best identify as a dog....in the future please use my dog name given to me of ben and I want the right to see a vet who is trained in the proper care of dogs rather then a human doctor who just is not equipped or trained to take care of my needs seeing how socially and culturally am a dog.
Trans exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs) are one of the more amusing bits of cognitive dissonance in identity politics. They’re right... for pretty much the same reasons anti-feminists are right.
No need for surgery. All a male needs to do is “self identify” to get a shower pass. ...and a pass to compete in women’s sporting events. Among other passes. Glad Trump took action on this madness.
Winners and losers in every election ... LGBT turkey-necked for Cankles and ... they lost. Gobble. Gobble. Gobble.
So, I what I don’t understand is that some guy who can’t cut it in some sport, claims to now be female and competes in women’s sport and wins, and women seem to support him.
WTF?
Glad to see it’s not an across the board support
This is precisely the critical issue. If a man is legally permitted to satisfy all of the requirements to be treated as a woman simply by claiming it, feminine has no meaning. How is it reasonable for women to accede to this dismissal of their womanhood?
TERFS for Trump!
This is amazing, isn’t it!
Yeah. I do not see liberals trying to force the mafia to bet on a woman about to box a transgender.
This whole thing is a fascist communist test case to see if we swallow fraud and terrorism without protesting because political predator have become Pc
This crap started when black people accepted that gays be treated as a race, taking their spot in the workplace
Another Trump island of rationality stands firm in the torrent of insanity the Demons and Goebellsmedia have brought upon us.
Naw, they all look like Rosanne.
When did he change from supporting men in the women’s bathroom?
Radical feminists hate men posing as women just as much as they hate all other men.
A bit like Jenner when he got the Woman of the year award. There was some fun online with this lot when they realised what was being said. I.e. even a man is better at being a w o man then women are. Funny stuff for the feminazis
“the legal and cultural definition of women”
How about the biological definition?
‘”men who say they have a female “gender identity” will be legally defined by the federal government as women, and “we can longer distinguish legally between males and females … [because we] have just eliminated the [biology-based] legal definition of women,”’
Ah, the irony: now one of libs MANY insanities, the “minority-owned business” (i.e., “women” in this case), will go by the wayside as men keep stating they are women so can utilize that other PC gimme.
