AT: In an unprecedented move, an Oregon judge has allowed a so-called “transgender” man to legally change his sex from female (he had previously been allowed to choose female) to “non-binary.” It’s newsworthy enough to have made it to Drudge, but even that fact doesn’t do justice to the grave threat presented by Multnomah County Circuit Court Judge Amy Holmes Hehn’s ruling.
I’ll cut to the chase. Even if you accept the legitimacy of “transgender” status (more on this later), here’s what must be understood:
Psychologists and transgender activists do not say “sex” and “gender” are synonymous.
Rather, they often take pains to point out — sometimes quite dogmatically — that “sex” is a biological distinction while “gender” is a psychological one. As MedicalNewsToday.com wrote in March, “In general terms, ‘sex’ refers to the biological differences between males and females, such as the genitalia and genetic differences. ‘Gender’ is more difficult to define but can refer to the role of a male or female in society (gender role), or an individual’s concept of themselves (gender identity).” You can find essentially the same definitions at Monash University’s website and numerous other places.
Even the man who petitioned Judge Hehn for the “sex change,” a fellow going by the name “Jamie” Shupe, has in so many words acknowledged the above. READ MORE
I’m sure you will be thrilled to learn that my gender-troubled friend changed his birth certificate to female.
If there is still male equipment attached, then he’s male, I don’t give a shit what the court says.
Being a Judge used to mean something. The Democrats have turned the term into a Kardasianesqe joke.
I consulted a real dictionary:
GENDER:
a : sex
b : the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex
As the article states, “In general terms, ‘sex’ refers to the biological differences.”
Hence gender.
Stop trying to change the definition, freaks.
A new settled science. Judges can now redefine biology.
Soooo….. what happens when it gets arrested for something? Which jail does it end up in? Geezuz, this guy needs some serious psychiatric help before he blows his brains out. Maybe the good Judge that reinforced these delusions can help out.
Wow! I wasn’t aware that a “judge” could alter nature!
Let’s have em get rid of friction and gravity, so we can all fly! Real fast!
izlamo delenda est …
Well, if I can go get a judge to put whatever I want in the “Sex” part of my driver license, I think I’ll change mine to “Sex: Why Do You Need to Know That?”
“Sex” “Yes!”
And these people say conservatives are “anti-science”?
