This country has indeed gone mad:
WASHINGTON TIMES – A federal judge says Idaho can’t bar transgender people from changing the sex listed on their birth certificates.
In a ruling issued Monday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Candy Dale said the rules by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare violated the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution, served no rational government purpose and put transgender people at risk by forcing them to disclose their status when they present identification documents.
“A rule providing an avenue to obtain a birth certificate with a listed sex that aligns with an individual’s gender identity promotes the health, well-being, and safety of transgender people without impacting the rights of others,” Dale wrote.
Dale gave Idaho until April 6 to begin considering applications to change the sex listed on birth certificates under new, constitutionally sound rules. The ruling also says reissued birth certificates can’t include a record of the gender having been changed.
In the court ruling, Dale noted the difference between biological sex and gender: The scientific consensus is that biological sex is determined by several mostly physical factors including external genitalia, which hormones are prevalent and brain structure, while gender identity is the intrinsic sense of being male, female, or another gender.
Or another gender???
This judge actually makes a distinction between gender identity and physical sex, as if there’s a difference. There is no difference! One is reality set in motion by God and the other, at least when it contradicts the physical sex, it’s pure fantasy.
It is because of our physical sex that we know our gender. God is not the author of confusion. He doesn’t put male genitalia on females and vice versa. Now of course there can be anomalies and what not, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.
This judge is giving fantasy precedence over reality, thereby allowing reality to be changed to match the fantasy and thus making it ‘official’ by forcing a state to accommodate this ridiculousness.
What’s crazy is that according to the article, most states already allow this changing of the birth certificate, which baffles my mind. Only four states don’t allow this, and now that’s down to three apparently: Tennessee, Ohio, and Kansas.
