Trump wants to sex was determined by biological characteristics and it was impossible to change

The administration of President trump could prohibit U.S. citizens to change the gender established at their birth genitals.

According to the memo that received the edition of the New York Times, the Department of health and human services (Department of Health and Human Services — HHS) is working hard on legal definition of sex, which would be based on scientific arguments.

«Gender specified in the originally issued birth certificate is the final confirmation of the sex of the person, if it is not refuted by credible genetic evidence,» the document says.

Therefore HHS intends to include the citizens either to the male or to the female sex. (Third floor in the note is not mentioned.) If the same person will disagree with the definition of his gender, he will have the right to prove the opposite by genetic analysis.

This White house initiative, if adopted, will cancel a number of decisions of the Obama administration, which softened the gender issue, recognizing that gender depends mostly on the choice of the person, and not on its biological characteristics. In the result of innovations could be affected 1.4 million Americans who have already transitioned.

Catherine E. Lhamon, who headed the civil rights division of the Ministry of education under Obama, said that this step proves the inhumanity of the administration of the trump.

«What people realize, doesn’t matter, because the government does not agree,» — said Lhamon.

Although an official statement from HHS or the White house is still not forthcoming, the LGBT groups are ready to oppose any such solution. Rusa LGBT co-Director and founder of Brighton beach-the pride of Alexei Gorshkov said USA.one its position on this matter:

«The news is certainly disturbing and politically unfortunate. The administration completely ignores all the achievements of science gender and queer studies, as well as all the progressive changes in the legislation due to a long struggle for the recognition of LGBTIQ and the leveling of social prejudices. The administration’s attempt to return to the origins of pseudopsychology and medieval medicine entails the dangerous trend of deteriorating living conditions and psychological state of transgender people. The refusal to recognize their right to self-determination will lead to increased suicidal tendencies, illegal trafficking in hormones, the deterioration of hormonal therapy and the quality of the hormones and, importantly, will throw far back the attitude of society, which already radicalized and ignores human rights.»

By the way, this is not the first attempt by trump to undo the changes in the legislation of the age of Obama, which granted transgender people more freedoms.

Recall that in late March, Donald trump signed a Memorandum banning a certain part of transgender people to serve in the U.S. army, and later the White house challenged a rule banning discrimination against transgender physicians.
