As scientists, we are compelled to write to you, our elected representatives, about the current administration’s proposal to legally define gender as a binary condition determined at birth, based on genitalia, and with plans to clarify disputes using “genetic testing”. This proposal is fundamentally inconsistent not only with science, but also with ethical practices, human rights, and basic dignity.
The proposal is in no way “grounded in science” as the administration claims. The relationship between sex chromosomes, genitalia, and gender identity is complex, and not fully understood. There are no genetic tests that can unambiguously determine gender, or even sex. Furthermore, even if such tests existed, it would be unconscionable to use the pretext of science to enact policies that overrule the lived experience of people’s own gender identities.
Bottom line: Even if there are genes that determine sex we should still go by how people feel.
These people are supposed to pass as “scientists” nowadays??
There are three genders of jellyfish
LOL. These "scientists" should be stripped of their degrees and credentials. Now genetic testing is "unscientific"!
Does it surprise anyone that these are the same people peddling "global warming" and "climate change"? Ha ha ha ha.
We, the General American majority, don’t care if 16 Million ‘scientists’ scribbled their signatures to this letter.
We wish to keep the standard that has worked since the start of Mankind.
There are but two genders, barring the rare phenomenon of Hermaphrodism. We are not willing to keep playing this game of ‘lets pretend I’m a ‘X’, where you can lose your job if you refuse to pretend. It’s an unnecessary drain of time and energy in the social world.
I challenge these scientists to put two mares together in a pasture and time how long it takes them to produce a foal. Idiots.
Those aren’t scientists, well, maybe left-wing Political Scientists.
Scumbag leftists!
Mainstream science has become so politicized, it resembles a cult religion more than anything else.
That cult religion has rightfully been dubbed, Scientism.
Where is the satire tag?
They keep using the word “Scientist” I don’t think it means what they think it means.
1,600 faggots

1,600 sexual DV8s
Selective science based on sin is not science
One is a choice and the other is a physical abnormality. These are 1600 crackpots, not "scientists".
So much for calling the signers "scientists".
My goodness. Well, if they’re scientists, they must not be flipping morons. After all, these are the guys who brought us global cooling, global warming, alar on apples as poison, DDT ban, cyclamates as
Carcinogenic, the effects of eggs and oatmeal on cholesterol, swine flu, bird flu, etc. they’re really really smart, you see, not whores
How is it that for untold generations, people accepted that there were 2 human genders. They met, had children, raised them, and eventually died as a man or a woman. Why only now do we have people deciding their gender based on "what they feel like today" vs. their personal genetics and anatomy? This is just another symptom of the profound sickness of liberalism. It serves to destroy every single norm that ever existed to define society. Now it's gotten down to whether you feel like a boy or a girl today. Tomorrow is another day what you'll feel you are. Surest way to destroy a society, and that's exactly what the libtards are out to do. They haven't figured out what they will do with the chaos that would ensue should they reach their evil goal, but they'll think of something.
Political scientists....
