The New England Journal of Medicine continues its hard swing to the woke left. Now, it has published an advocacy article that would remove sex designation as an identifiable factor on birth certificates. From, “Failed Assignments: Rethinking Sex Designations on Birth Certificates”:
Assigning sex at birth also doesn’t capture the diversity of people’s experiences. About 6 in 1000 people identify as transgender, meaning that their gender identity doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. Others are nonbinary, meaning they don’t exclusively identify as a man or a woman, or gender nonconforming, meaning their behavior or appearance doesn’t align with social expectations for their assigned sex.
The idea is to move sex designation “below the line,” which allows for general statistical compilation of vital statistics, but not an identifiable designation of the particular individual about whom the birth certificate was created. The point is to promote a particular view of social justice:
Moving sex designations below the line would be in keeping with legal developments deemphasizing sex distinctions. Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has held, in Obergefell v. Hodges, that bans on same-sex marriage are unconstitutional, only a few legal contexts relying on sex designations remain. In these contexts, using information from birth certificates is not the best way to categorize people.
The authors also want sex designations removed from important documents such as passports:
Passports and state identification cards relying on sex assigned at birth for identification pose another challenge. These documents are usually issued or renewed when the holder is an adolescent or an adult, however, so moving sex designations below the line of demarcation on birth certificates would permit applicants to identify their gender without medical verification. Governments could also remove gender designations from identification cards altogether and focus more on identifiable physical features and updated photographs. This change would accommodate nonbinary people and reduce the burdens associated with amending documents.
Articles like this certainly have their place in debating transgenderism. But when they appear in the most influential medical journal in the world, it calls into question the editors’ ability to dispassionately choose which medical papers to publish. I mean, if a reputable study reached conclusions that were scientifically sound but cut against the grain of transgender ideology, do you think it would ever make the pages of the NEJM? Not a chance!
Publishing ideological advocacy in what is supposed to be a journal that primarily publishes objective scientific information contributes to the growing public distrust of the science sector. That doesn’t help people with gender dysphoria specifically, or contribute to the betterment of society overall.
God made male and female. There was no third option, and NO MISTAKES!!!!!
Can the idiots get any more idiotic?
The “Christas Star coes again this year,
lets hope it carries a major surprise.
Ridiculous! and Sad!
This is the most stupid, idiotic thing I’ve ever heard! MALE and FEMALE, it’s simple biology!
I believe this publication is controlled by the CCP. What do you expect?
The inmates running the asylum……..bound to happen in our new found democrat world. Time to stand up for what is right America or lose it all.
These are doctors? People who took anatomy classes?
Not too long ago, doctors were considered the Elite, the super-educated, the smartest people in the world! My, have times changed…
What is wrong / incorrect / inaccurate with stating: anatomically male/female (circle one), genetically XY / XX (circle one). If when the child becomes a legal adult and has had appropriate psychological counseling, he/she decides to go for hormones/surgery, then that’s just another historical landmark. It does not change the reality or medical history – nor does it cater to the looney left who suppress data they don’t like.
The world is really screwed up, when physicians, who are well acquainted with basic anatomy, will not signify what sex an infant is when it is born. The DNA does not lie, nor does it ever change. Regardless of what an individual decides to do when it is grown, it is definitely one or the other at birth. Political Correctness has made us all morons.
I swear you delusional democrats get more retarded every day . In case you forgot there’s only 2 sexs male and female . Men have penises , women have vaginas … that’s it … you have one or the other and by what you have at birth , that’s what you are . You cant just say I feel like a female and your are one , it doesn’t work that way . By playing it doesn’t matter you screw up more kids that end up killing themselfs . not all will except them or how they feel and mess with them to the point they act against their feelings . It’s your fault for telling them it doesn’t matter in a world where we can burn , loot and kill at will . You dumb ass’s go to far . Only god can make you what sex your going to be . Not some idiot sitting in a office with nothing better to do . Stop making stupid rules that get people killed . You will have to answer to god one day . I hope I can be there to see that . I’d love to hear your excuse for your corruption against man kind and against God himself .
Remove your sexual identity, your race identity, create only one economic class, control your speech through “political correctness”, remove cultural icons such as statues, take away your constitutional right to own a firearm, shut down your small business and make you become dependent on the State….Democrats and liberals are neo-Marxists.
