new x gender or something
| I don't get it, either. How would you know? Newborns don't have identity at all.
| >>308203
Wait, spoke too soon.
>The proposal would also stop requiring people to get a medical or mental health professional to fill out an affidavit to affirm their requested gender designation, the AP reported.
So really it's for people who want to change their birth certificates more easily. Giving newborns "x" gender makes no sense.
| That's… great and all, but isn't it important (medical reasons) to know one's biological sex?
| Why was this even implemented.
| >>308229
Is it? Give us some examples. I never had medicine or therapies which said "men only" or "not suited for women". But I'm no doctor, so pls enlight me.
| It's just an 'other' option.
| I dont give a fuck either way. I just know when my child is born i put either male or female. Unless in a very rare occasion the baby has both genetallia at that point i would use X
| >>308305 Different sexual organs. Different hormones. And news flash, gender specific medication exists because physical differences such as muscle and bone growth.
| Only 2 genders exist fight me
| >>308378
3 actually very rarely a person is born with both a peepee and veegee. In that case gender x should be applied
| A third option is fine, I mean its about time we get more than two classes :/
| Did I ask for baby's consent before musgendering it?
| >>308251
It's a proposal! It hasn't been implemented!
>>308229
That information is also on medical records.
| >>308335
>Different sexual organs.
I just can't imagine how a paramedic or a doctor asks for the ID to find out which sexual organs her patient has...
| >>308335
>gender specific medication exists because physical differences such as muscle and bone growth.
But you will agree that there are always a few people that differ from the norm. According to your logic muscular women need an entry as "male" in their ID while pretty weak men need a "female" entry to ease medication.
At this point I remind you, that only a few people are transgender and want an "x" entry in their ID. Why do you bother after all?

Come on guys, doctors don't need birth certificates! They have medical records to show things like if a patient has odd genitals or has had a sex change. This law would not affect medical decisions, unless the doctor is really fucking stupid.
| >>309211 No. You're twisting his words and you know it. Unless you lack sexual education, then you should know that women have heightened levels of estrogen in addition to the increase in bone mass and strength.
This, however, does not mean that they cannot gain muscle. This, instead, means that they have lower potential for strength development due to low levels of testosterone. The estrogen results in development different from that of a man who has higher levels of testosterone.

Your post is a good example for masculine estrogenes in action ;-) Twisting words my ass...
Especially when it comes to transgender, there actually are people that have either naturally or artificially a distribution of hormones that differ from the norm.
Actually in the past there was a "hormone thearpy" to "cure" homosexuality against the will of the "patients" (one prominent victim is alan turing). Just to make people fit into bigot conservative worldviews.
| >>309357 Just as there is hormone therapy to cure gender dysphoria.
Anyways, it's true that there will always be a few who will differ from the norm. Some men may have more estrogen, as do some women testosterone. But those hormones aren't the only thing that affects the physical function and development of the human body.
| And even if it does affect someone greatly, I don't understand how they can't just say that this is an abnormality on their body instead of creating an entirely new arbitrary gender where only they can fit in.
Another thing, do you believe that bodies can naturally adapt to artificial injections that go against it's system? Maybe, but there will be complications.

Nobody's creating a new gender, it's putting an optional x on a birth certificate, long after birth. It's an odd proposal that has to do with civil law but makes little everday sense to me. Why would transexuals need to change their own records?

>Just as there is hormone therapy to cure gender dysphoria.
As long no one is forced to do it against her/his/its will, I don't care. Gender is to me like religion: I don't care if people believe they are two, three or hundred genders and to which they belong. It has no effect on my live, except that I have to watch this stupid and pointless debates that blew up this niche-topic to a big serious issue.
| I was taught as a kid that having a peepee makes you a guy and a vagina makes you a girl, can we stop confusing sexuality with gender it doesn't make any sense
| >>309858 you were taught wrong. Peepees aren't real, haven't you opened a barby before to see what's under her clothes?
| How we see ourselves is never who we are, and we always want to be something we're not. If it were always that simple, surgery would only make things worse, because you're just retreating into fantasy you cannot escape. But it doesn't work like that. Real dysphoria is on such a completely different level I may never understand. All this hypersensitivity doesn't help.
