AMAC Exclusive by: Aaron Kliegman
The left’s war on reality keeps reaching new levels of absurdity. Now, even the concept of assigning a sex to newborn babies has become unpalatable to liberals, as the American Medical Association (AMA) recently announced that biological sex should be removed from all birth certificates. According to a resolution from the AMA, the organization will “advocate for the removal of sex as a legal designation on the public portion of the birth certificate and that it be visible for medical and statistical use only.”
The announcement will undoubtedly come as a shock to most Americans who, until a few years ago, had probably never even heard the term “trans.” The concept of malleable gender identity — the idea that anyone can self-identify as male, female, or neither— is understandably foreign to most people. Until relatively recently, journalists weren’t writing about it, lawmakers weren’t legislating about it, and medical professionals weren’t thinking about it.
How quickly things can change. A recent report from the AMA expanding on the aforementioned resolution now says that gender must be removed from birth certificates “to protect individual privacy and to prevent discrimination.”
It’s no surprise given radical stances like these that the AMA has increasingly become a fringe organization made up largely of academics and lobbyists, not practicing doctors, that Democrats often use to provide their policy stances with a façade of “expertise.” In fact, less than 15% of active physicians were dues-paying members of the AMA as of 2019, and rank-and-file doctors have long criticized the AMA for acting as if it speaks for every physician.
But that hasn’t stopped AMA Board Chair-Elect Sandra Adamson Fryhofer from issuing sweeping statements suggesting that every doctor and hospital should follow their proposal anyway. “Designating sex on birth certificates as male or female, and making that information available on the public portion, perpetuates a view that sex designation is permanent and fails to recognize the medical spectrum of gender identity,” she said recently. “This type of categorization system also risks stifling an individual’s self-expression and self-identification and contributes to marginalization and minoritization.”
One can agree or disagree, but the fact is that 48 states and the District of Columbia already allow people to amend their listed sex on their birth certificate to reflect their individual gender identities. If someone is trans, there’s nothing stopping them from changing the designation on their birth certificate from male to female or vice versa.
Why, then, is the AMA’s resolution even necessary? One reason the AMA board cites in its report is that only 10 states allow for a gender-neutral designation — typically “X” — on a birth certificate. In other words, the AMA, a professional association and lobbying group of physicians and medical students — supposed experts — is explicitly endorsing the notion that gender is not a biological reality but is rather a social construct that must be dismantled. It’s unclear what a designation of “X” on a birth certificate actually means, biologically or medically.
If all medical professionals were to embrace the AMA’s recommendation, the only logical outcome would be a fundamental reversal of how our society views gender. The AMA has already supported efforts to provide children under the age of 18 with “gender affirming” medical treatment. But even then, the idea was that babies would be assumed to be their biological sex until they are old enough to choose their own pronouns. Now, the AMA wants every American parent to instead assume that their child might be trans straight from the womb.
Although you won’t see opposition to the AMA’s resolution from any mainstream news outlets, many in the medical community have expressed concern about the implications of the statement. Robert Jackson, an MD from the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, recently told WebMD Health News, “We as physicians need to report things accurately… All through medical school, residency, and specialty training we were supposed to delegate all of the physical findings of the patient we’re taking care of. I think when the child is born, they do have physical characteristics either male or female and I think that probably should be on the public record.”
If someone gets older and wants to change their gender and update their birth certificate accordingly, that’s one thing. But eliminating sex distinctions from the very beginning of life ignores the most basic science — indeed, a fundamental, objective truth of biological life. This begs a troubling question: If we’re disagreeing about such clear objective truths, then how can we as a country ever hope to unite socially and culturally, let alone politically?
More concretely, the AMA’s decision poses a real medical risk. In 2019, a transgender man — a biological female who identified as a male — birthed a stillborn baby because nurses didn’t consider checking if the patient was pregnant. Such cases are only more likely to occur if birth certificates don’t specify one’s sex.
With the support of our major institutions, from the media to Hollywood, corporate America, and now the medical establishment, wokeness is on the march. And the gender issue is at the tip of the woke spear.
If such forces, including the AMA, have their way, soon enough parents won’t be asking whether it’s a boy or a girl. They’ll be calling their child an it, until he or she chooses a gender — or no gender at all.
This wish to do away with gender has about sense as doing away with agriculture. Or art. Or sports. Or business. It’s just a part of life and more importantly, it defines a person.– Boy, is that going to annoy quite a few people but that’s the way it is.
This just may surpass the idiocy of citizens in the movie Idiocracy. Just saying…
Ridiculous! What is WRONG with these people?
Absolute insanity! I am a practicing physician and I do not belong to the AMA. The AMA does not speak for me!
Absurd !!
Another so called professional group, showing lack of backbone and eager to bend it’s knee to the wishes of the Communist Democrats. Maybe these un-educated should have exposed themselves to Marxist thought and history before they cave in any further.
So we make those Doctors go broke and go elsewhere for medical services.
The American Medical Association has totally lost their minds. It has become a fringe organization as the article says, made of mostly academics and lobbyists type people similar to those who control our doctors when he or she prescribed prescription or surgery and these idiots tell the doctors what they can or can do. God created us as male or female and when born that is what is to be put on the birth certificate. These Democrats when in Hell shout out for a glass of water, well sorry they should have know better than killing innocence babies and trying to change the sex of others.
I would have no confidence in going to a doctor that buys into this woke crap.
Removing the gender line from birth certificates is just another big waste of energy, time and money, addressing non-problems one after another as we are all forced to march toward becoming a non-thinking, wimp like obedient society.
I just lost a dear friend do to Covid-19. In a way, I am a bit sad that he left me here in the world of the absurdity. AMA is normalizing perversion. Their actions are reflections of how they think.
Hmmm, what a wacky way to conclude that we humans have no distinction to accept such a simple thing like male & female differentiation. Has anyone else watched the movie, “Kindergarten Cop?” Aside from the Hollywood hype, even little kids (if they’re raised properly) know the basic difference between a boy and a girl. If you haven’t seen the movie, then you don’t recall the particular scene I’m talking about. Watch it for yourself, & you’ll get the message.
Having once worked as a Personnel Director in a major hospital, I learned that LGBTQA are disproportionately attracted to the medical profession, whether it be as an Orderly or a Doctor. For decades they kept a low profile in fear of retaliation, but now there aren’t any consequences for any type of perversion. Moreover, these deviants want to convince the rest of us to consider any sexual experience “normal.” So now the AMA is “woke.” Have we abandoned the idea that criminal behavior is antisocial and destructive? What’s next? Will incest and pedophilia find justification?
How about bestiality? Where will we draw the line in the new normal? You have to stand for your beliefs and oppose this insanity.
When the Medical Profession Doctors come up with this kind in inane nonsense, it casts a big doubt about how valid there dooms-day urging to wear masks for Corona Virus.
I got news for this Rockefeller created idiocy called the AMA… Personally – I think anyone signing on to that sort of thing needs far more than a psychiatric evaluation…
See, I knew I was right. Covid isn’t a lung disorder, it’s a brain disorder. Another round of mask mandates should be the final straw.
I thought doctors were intelligent apparently they are as dumb as DemocRATS
And these are the same “scientists” creating laws at the Center for Disease and Rent Control.
God made us male and female!!! Since these gay couples can’t have kids, doesn’t that show everyone that their lifestyle is deviant and abhorrent and against God? Remember God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah!!! God will destroy us, if we don’t repent!!! 2 Chronicles 7:14 gives us our saving grace!!!
When are all these Pussies going to develop backbones and tell these deviants to live their own lives and leave the rest of us alone. I’m tired of (in your face, you have to think like me or you are Racist, Bigoted, etc) crap from the perverts. I don’t care how they want to live, but don’t try to force your ideas on me.
Commies want us to be neutered, uneducated its, like them. Encouraging he dumbing down of Americans is one of their main plans.
Leave things alone. You are what you are, male or female our species do not switch genders. All this sh– is brainwashing for the purpose of power & control. People have been killed for less. Teach your children well, they are trying to confuse them. This is not the America my Dad fought for in WWII.
Remember what God said:
“God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”
Genesis 1:27
This is the only Truth; discussion over.
Let’s embrace the Truth.
Over my dead body. We have got stop these lunatics’ as soon as possible.
Sorry. If I see a penis on my newborn I put down “boy” on his birth certificate. Etc.
Trans people have long insisted they are discriminated against and don’t have the “rights” the rest of us do. Now you see what they REALLY meant.
They pick and choose what “science” they force everyone to follow.
Yes, pretty soon we’ll all be “its” or “things” ~~ no longer even human and quite easily expendable.
What are the useless ignorants afraid of???
I’m betting their not bright enough to know the differance , and their scared people will recognize it?
Or is it so they make sure its EQUITABLE killing of babies???
What the he’ll is wrong with these people??
All this women’s is unbelievably STUPID and POINTLESS!
Ignorant people with nothing productive to do??
Is this what so called higher education develops???
So then a man can go to an OBGYN to figure out why he cant get pregnant? Will it be recommended that a man get pap smears annually and a woman should bend over for a prostate exam? If my doctor is so woke, that it makes sense to see all patients for all things, because all genders are hidden, I will get another doctor. Signed, a girl, a female, a woman, unapologetic and proud.
More insanity from the far left communist democrats and spineless so called Republicans allowing these morons to continue with their destructive policies and proclamations.
When will we actually see representatives who expose these clowns and demand. An end to their ridiculous antics.
Are there any intelligent, patriotic, moral and competent voices in politics???
If so SPEAK UP loudly and frequently, what are you scared of???
I pray there are enough Strong,Conservative,Moral, Freedom loving Citizens willing to end this now!
2022 and 2024 We must purge America of this anti American cancerous communist destruction!
This is totally stupid. Think they are afraid like wimps instead of standing. How can they be smart enough to know what to do if they can’t figure out what sex you are!! God come and get us!!
Evil and sick. Fallen human nature on display at it’s best. Disgusting.
You advocate against the AMA speaking for all Doctors, yet your headline says Doctors instead of the AMA. Kind of misleading! But otherwise a very good article. Having been in the Medical Profession, I’ve known for years that the AMA represents a small number of our nations MDs.
We should always follow the laws of nature in ALL aspects of human life.
That’s absurd!
I, as many others, left the AMA years ago because of nonsense like this. Not every physician is in lock-step with the AMA. MANY OF US STILL HAVE MINDS OF OUR OWN!!
Biology is generally very simple. When a child is born, simply look between its legs and you will get the answer as to which of the two sexes the child is. End of discussion.
“Gender Confusion” is the only term that comes to mind to describe when someone has conned himself/herself into “feeling” that being the opposite sex, or sitting on the fence or anywhere in between, is a preferable way to go in their life. Once someone makes such a self-indulgent “change” (whatever it may be), that person is left with a life that is essentially a fixation on their new “reality” which then becomes the overwhelming focus of their daily existence. This “new and improved” person then has to perpetuate their fantasy so as not to challenge themselves that they may actually have made a mistake with their original decision.
this is absolutely ridiculous.. u ARE BORN A FEMALE OR MALE STOP THIS FOOLISHNESS. MY GOD what is our world coming too?
I think the woke people should go back to sleep and wake up when they land on earth.
I think it’s time these ‘woke’ folks be awakened. LOL!
This just might be the dumbest thing I’ve heard lately!
The dehumanization of humanity keeps on marching! The best way to eliminate those who don’t conform to leftists ideology, is to make sure no one sees them as humans! “Created in the image of God” thrown out the door! This won’t end well and that’s the point! Divide and conquer, the left is marching on!
I can’t even begin to express the anger, disdain and contempt I have for any doctor or other person that supports this idiocy!
It’s difficult to believe the once powerful watch tower of freedom and sovereign integrity has become a laughing stock with the passing of one generation. The United States had better wake up and drop this “woke” nonsense before the path back to decency and rational thought becomes so blurred as to be unattainable. How has a nation with such a rich history and heritage become so confused and chaotic? Just shows what corruption and decay in social, cultural and political circles can “accomplish” when left unguarded.
Anyone can “feel” like whatever gender they want to be but the DNA tells all. Boys are BOYS. Girls are GIRLS!!
Even in the barnyard COWS don’t mix with HORSES !
These “people” are now, not only trying to rewright history and the constitution, they are now trying to rewright the Bible. How far is all this going to be permited to go???
It’s very troubling to see our sciences go full on stupid. I get it, these doctors have put politics over science, but it is still very concerning that educated people would let themselves be used and dumbed down. I tell my own doctor when they make me where a mask that I am smarter than this political mask game. I’m no doctor, but I did work in germ warfare aka biological weapons, in the Army. I know what blocks virus and what is totally ineffective. If c19 was truly deadly, EVERY mask wearer would be dead as quickly as non mask wearers. Our medical community really has me wondering.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Everybody knows there are only two genders. Boys have a penis and girls have vaginas. The parts were designed to produce babies. There is no question about this. If you want to change somehow, go ahead. But you cannot change science or natural biology. Are these the same doctors telling us to get vaccinated? I think the world has gone nuts!
