So Trump is going to reverse Obama’s re-definition of what gender is?

gender vs sex

Hey, it was the Progressives that decided that gender had nothing to do with the chromosomes you had and only depended on the thoughts in your head and went ahead and decided to redefine our common language (AHgain!) in support of their agenda in wiping out all traditional values and view points.  Now, wait for Progressive and Gender Warrior heads to ‘splode in 3…2…1…

‘Transgender’ Could Be Defined Out of Existence Under Trump Administration

The Trump administration is considering narrowly defining gender as a biological, immutable condition determined by genitalia at birth, the most drastic move yet in a governmentwide (sic) effort to roll back recognition and protections of transgender people under federal civil rights law.

Funny, we’ve had the definition of gender as your biological sex for thousands of years.  The redefinition has only been in force for a few so after a mere handful of years of redefining it as NOT that, this is “drastic“? Just like what the Left did with the fundamental definition of what marriage was? Yet another case of the Left having a hissy fit because they aren’t getting their way?  How DARE we!

The NYT even admits to the Obama double-speak definition:

A series of decisions by the Obama administration loosened the legal concept of gender in federal programs, including in education and health care, recognizing gender largely as an individual’s choice and not determined by the sex assigned at birth. The policy prompted fights over bathrooms, dormitories, single-sex programs and other arenas where gender was once seen as a simple concept. Conservatives, especially evangelical Christians, were incensed.

Sure, we were incensed but not just for religious reasons but for the language redefinition in that what never was, was supposed to be blindly accepted simply because some bureaucrats decided that it was a way to push their political agenda.  Which, if you haven’t been paying attention, to nullify traditional definitions. Also, do accomplish what totalitarian governments always try to do – force people to the point where they accept that which they KNOW is wrong as truth.  You can’t tell me that someone that has XY chromosomes, has a 5 o’clock shadow, strong as an ox, is a gal.  Yet, that’s what the Obama Admin and Social Justice Warriors demand we believe.

And the pushback has been getting more the harder we’re forced to believe the junk  they’re slinging.  Trump was elected simply because we Normals have had enough of this 360 nonsense:

Now the Department of Health and Human Services is spearheading an effort to establish a legal definition of sex under Title IX, the federal civil rights law that bans gender discrimination in education programs that receive government financial assistance, according to a memo obtained by The New York Times.

This isn’t “drastic” – it’s just a return to what was the commonly accepted notion that gender is physically determined and not the result of a mindset and not a snip-snip / add-on.  Should people receive respect? Sure – just be nice.  But stop forcing the rest of us to believe that which our lyin’ eyes tell us is not true.  Don’t demand that we participate, accept, and affirm what is called, in psychological terms, gender identity disorder (until THAT got redefined…sheeshhh).

The department argued in its memo that key government agencies needed to adopt an explicit and uniform definition of gender as determined “on a biological basis that is clear, grounded in science, objective and administrable.” The agency’s proposed definition would define sex as either male or female, unchangeable, and determined by the genitals that a person is born with, according to a draft reviewed by The Times. Any dispute about one’s sex would have to be clarified using genetic testing.

Works for me.  As holding a degree in Biology, that is the definition of sex / gender.  Period, full stop. You can’t change your genes no matter how hard you claim to be the other sex – and this is one of the things that the Left hates: an absolute value.  The Constitution isn’t absolute (thus the fight over Kavanaugh, in part, because of his insistence it it, good isn’t absolute and neither is evil.  History is malleable and certainly the definition of our common language isn’t.  Anything else is just, to use the language of the Left, is just Yet Another Social Construct.  Which means malleable, changeable, subjective, and not grounded in science.

The new definition would essentially eradicate federal recognition of the estimated 1.4 million Americans who have opted to recognize themselves — surgically or otherwise — as a gender other than the one they were born into.

And?

And I just love this part:

The move would be the most significant of a series of maneuvers, large and small, to exclude the population from civil rights protections and roll back the Obama administration’s more fluid recognition of gender identity. The Trump administration has sought to bar transgender people from serving in the military and has legally challenged civil rights protections for the group embedded in the nation’s health care law.

What, it WASN’T a most significant of maneuvers to make the change in the first place to solidify the Democrat identity group politics totem pole (you know, the one that SacajaWarren tried to ride for all these decades?)?  What was your response back THEN, Grey Lady?  Were you horrified at the change?  Were you dismayed that yet another word was completely flipped inside out and upside down?  Naw, you sucked it in whole without a gag reflex with the attitude of “hey, why didn’t WE invent this before?”.  Objective reporting, you don’t.

I first saw this over at RedState where the post had a great background to this:

A lot of shameful things happened under the Obama regime but the greatest stain of that grotesque claque was the concerted war in carried out on the moral and social fiber of the nation. Under Obama there was a determined effort to bar religion and religious observance from all aspects of public life and relegate it to whatever time was spent in church.

That would be Obama’s proclamation that the First Amendment was only about “The Freedom of Worship (to be done within the four walls of your House of Worship”) – diminishing the actual “Freedom of Expression”.  Every totalitarian government has always tried to reduce the importance of religion in order to supplant it with itself.

Catholic hospitals were under pressure to provide abortions, orders of nuns had to have health insurance that covered birth control, but the most damage was done by the Obama regime becoming an aggressive advocate for the utter nonsense that gender and genitalia are not related. The Obama legal thugs sued to get grown men who claimed they were actually women into girls’s locker rooms and bathrooms and began a process of modifying agency regulations to try to lock this bizarro-world policy in as the law of the land.

The Trump administration has started the process of winding this idiocy down and the idiots aren’t happy.

And look at how merely going back to the original meaning of the word is going:

“Transgender people are frightened,” said Sarah Warbelow, the legal director of the Human Rights Campaign, which presses for the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. “At every step where the administration has had the choice, they’ve opted to turn their back on transgender people.

Always the slander of malfeasance on those that would merely go back to original definitions (like the enviros are all up in arms that the Trump froze the CAFE standards; “PEOPLE WILL DIE!!!!!”).  There is no regulation that can be reversed, no law that can be defined according to its actual wording.  It is always about We Good – You Bad. It is ALWAYS about  The phrase ‘turning one’s back’ is meant to be pejorative – an example of cruelness, of heartlessness, of selfishness.  It is using the lowest of the low debating techniques – to always call those opposed to your political agenda as only defined by hate, pure and simple.  There is no middle ground, no hope of compromise. They won’t stop until we give up, beaten into submission.

Like Hillary Clinton said:

“That’s why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again.”

It’s all about Power – and we saw what happened when the Democrats held all of the levers of Power. When it comes to fundamental Principles, there can be no compromise.  Do anti-discrimination laws, regulations, or local ordinances trump the Constitution?  These people not only believe they do, they’ve acted in the manner that one can only believe what they say – all others must be destroyed – personally, socially, financially, and career-wise; I’ve seen it and watched it.

As self-avowed Communist Van Jones said: “Top down, bottom up, inside out”; that was the means to fundamentally transform the United States.  The redefinition of EVERYTHING Normal.; this is but one aspect of that Grand Strategy.  Why?

When a society has its value cut and set adrift, that is the time that a Society can be hijacked.  When a people no longer believes in a common heritage and loses shared value system, it is ripe to be transformed. When there are no values seen as being bedrock, or worse, painted over and over as being evil (e.g., like “America is a melting pot” is a microaggression, or that “hard work is WHITE ideology“) then anything can be believed.

1984 was supposed to be a warning and not a how-to manual.
