The NYT<\/a>: \u201cThe department argued in its memo that key government agencies needed to adopt an explicit and uniform definition of gender as determined \u2018on a biological basis that is clear, grounded in science, objective and administrable.\u2019 The agency\u2019s proposed definition would define sex<\/a> as either male<\/a> or female<\/a>, unchangeable, and determined by the genitals that a person is born with, according to a draft reviewed by The Times. Any dispute about one\u2019s sex<\/a> would have to be clarified using genetic testing.\u201d<\/p>\n The plans are the latest, and most draconian, of a series of efforts the Trump administration has been making to remove and restrict the rights of transgender individuals, including military service<\/a>, federal prison rights<\/a>, health care<\/a>, schools<\/a>, the CDC<\/a>, the judiciary<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n According to the memo seen by the NYT, the HHS proposes that \u201cSex means a person\u2019s status as male<\/a> or female<\/a> based on immutable biological traits identifiable by or before birth.\u00a0The sex<\/a> listed on a person\u2019s birth certificate, as originally issued, shall constitute definitive proof of a person\u2019s sex<\/a> unless rebutted by reliable genetic evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n HHS is pushing the Departments of\u00a0Education, Justice, and Labor to adopt its definition as well so it will have a better chance of winning in courts.<\/p>\n The proposal is based upon HHS\u2019s \u201cown reading of the laws and from a court decision,\u201d according to the paper, which notes that it would affect the more than 1.4 million Americans that have identified as transgender.<\/p>\n The post Trump Plans to Legally Exterminate Transgender People, Define Gender by Genitalia at Birth: Memo<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad Gay News<\/a>.<\/p>\nRELATED:\u00a0School Closed After Parents Declare \u2018Hunting Season\u2019 on 12-Year-Old Transgender Student: \u2018A Good Sharp Knife Will Do the Job\u2019<\/a><\/em><\/h2>\n
