On Monday the Biden Administration’s Department of Health and Human Services announced it will redefine the word “sex” in Title IX and the federal Obamacare law to include sexual-orientation and gender-identity.
The move reverses a Trump-era policy that interpreted “sex” to mean simply biological sex — not sexual orientation or gender identity.
In 2016 the Obama Administration began issuing guidelines and memos redefining “sex” to include sexual-orientation and gender-identity.
The Trump Administration rolled back many of these radical policies. Now that President Biden is in office, his administration is reinstituting them.
Last week, my friend Christopher Yuan tweeted that his hospital is now asking patients for their sexual orientation, gender identity and “sex assigned at birth.” Apparently though certain hospitals are eager to align themselves with trans ideology, they have to know whether a patient is male or female. Why? Because, it matters.
In other words, when lives are on the line, biology wins over ideology. No doctor who hopes to heal rather than harm, not to mention who wants to keep his job, will medically treat a biological male as though he were a biological female. The question that remains is whether or not doctors will be forced to pretend as if biology doesn’t determine sex, even as their work proves it does.
