This Administration is DISGUSTING....

The example in the article used "maternal" twice in the sentence quoted, and also referred to "women of color". I agree that the phrase "birthing people" is an odd one, but they certainly didn't remove references to women and mothers.

Did God not create androgen insensitivity?

A woman with androgen insensitivity is born with an X and Y chromosome. Genetically, she would be classified as male. She is born identified as a female and develops female sex characteristics, but she is also at risk for testicular cancer because she has testes instead of ovaries.

Androgen insensitivity is not typically detected until puberty, meaning a girl with androgen insensitivity has been raised as a girl. She looks like a girl, acts like a girl, and has been treated like a girl for her entire life up to that point. Should she be forced to transition her gender and change her name to match her genetics? I doubt you had intended to call this girl "unnatural" or "sexually depraved" with this post, but that's what you did.

Girls with androgen insensitivity usually undergo surgery to have their testes removed after the diagnosis, and this usually happens around puberty. Most of them have identified as a girl their entire lives and wish to continue their life as a girl.

Sex isn't as simple as just male or female and gender is separate from sex. Gender is also man-made. Your beliefs about dresses and the color pink being feminine are entirely man-made and recent inventions.

Below is a photo of President Franklin D. Roosevelt as a child in 1884. The common practice at the time was that both young boys and girls wore white dresses. It wasn't until World War I that this changed. In the 1920s, the large department stores wanted to be able to sell more clothes by associating specific colors with specific genders, but they couldn't all agree on which colors to use. Marshall Field in Chicago branded pink as a boy’s color but Macy's branded it as a girl's color.

Nothing about the words being used here convey love, caring, or compassion. These aren't words to describe someone you love...or even someone you like.

Revolting.
Disgusting.
Depraved.

I don't think you care about trans people.

I think you're posting stuff like this because you think trans people are less than human or at least don't deserve to be treated as human.

Reflect on the words you're using to describe people, and please remember that they are still people.

Why would you say that? Some fish do change sex.

True story: I have a friend who transitioned from female to male -- he says it was the best decision he ever made.

Funny world, isn't it?

WHO in their right mind thinks it makes America BETTER to do away with the words, MOTHER and FATHER? I sure don't! The younger generation has very little respect for Mother & Father NOW, this is only going to make them have LESS respect.

I don't know about you, but it's against my conscience to go along with these kinds of things. A MOTHER should be called a MOTHER. A FATHER should be called FATHER. A HE should be called HE and a SHE a SHE.

"Transgendered men do not become women, nor do transgendered women become men. All (including Bruce Jenner) become feminized men or masculinized women, counterfeits or impersonators of the sex with which they ‘identify.’ In that lies their problematic future." {Dr. Paul McHugh, the university distinguished service professor of psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine}

Sex Reassignment Doesn’t Work. Here Is the Evidence.

And speaking of those who had undergone sex reassignment: "...the Obama Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services pointed out the 19-times-greater likelihood for death by suicide, and a host of other poor outcomes... We note, mortality from this patient population did not become apparent until after 10 years."
