President Donald Trump’s administration is considering defining
gender as a static, unchangeable, biological fact that is designated at
birth and can never be altered.
The Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) is seeking to create a legal definition of sex
under Title IX, a federal civil rights law the deals with education, The New York Times reported Sunday after obtaining a memo from the administration.
HHS
will define gender as determined “on a biological basis that is clear,
grounded in science, objective and
administrable,” according to the
memo, TheNYT reported. The definition would define gender as either
female or male, according to the person’s genitalia at birth.
Discrepancies would be determined by genetic testing, the memo
indicates.
“Sex means a person’s status as male or female based
on immutable biological traits identifiable by or before birth,” the
memo reads. “The sex listed on a person’s birth certificate, as
originally issued, shall constitute definitive proof of a person’s sex
unless rebutted by reliable genetic evidence.”
