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.
How about we stop speaking or caring about gender except when teaching a foreign language? Sex is the only relevant characteristic, and that has nothing to do with how you feel about your (real or imagined) genitalia.

I take it all of these “scientists” are either political or social “scientists”.

Well, that’s 1,600 ass hats 🎩 that I wouldn’t trust to tell me what color the sky is.
Any science that takes any data directly from or about people is or will be politicized.
Pure Bs, The gay thing is an abomination to God, all have sinned, but it is time for all to repent and seek the living way of Christ.. Science knows nothing, Man knows nothing, seek God..
This proposal is fundamentally inconsistent not only with science, but also with ethical practices, human rights, and basic dignity.
For sheer grotesque-ness this can’t be beat. Anyone who thinks they can MAKE me say that up is down and black is wHite is in for a rude awakening.
How many scientists are there? 10's of thousands? 100's of thousands? More than one million?
These are difficult times for professional comedians.
They have to compete with people like these “scientists” who say the most wacky things for free.
In the beginning GOD made man and then woman. There is only the X and Y chromosomes
Now you see how Climate Science got so corrupted by nutball activists with university degrees. PLUS there us lots of money is this. Plus living on taxpayers money at public universities.
They must be “political scientists”.
Fake science.
1600? That’s a lot of scientists!
How about making all personal data documents not ask for the person’s sex. But maybe some people would want to give their sex. This needs to go to the Supreme Court.
Compelling proof that a college education in our liberal institutions will warp and destroy a brain!
