Imagine
a few years from now, how your child would feel while looking at his birth
certificate and he/she sees the gender options such as ‘male’, ‘female’ and ‘nonbinary’.
Let’s
take another instance.
Imagine
your own drivers' license or birth certificate with options such as given above. What would be your
first reaction when you see that your parents actually ticked the ‘nonbinary’
option as your gender? Confusing right? Alright.
According
to
recent reports from lifesitenews, “a new
California bill introduced by two openly homosexual politicians proposes
creating a “third gender” option — “nonbinary” for state licenses and birth
certificates”.
The bill, Senate Bill 179, is garnering the usual pro-family opposition and support from the liberal media, including a Los Angeles Times news article that failed to include one word of dissent from conservative critics.
“This bill would authorize the change of gender on the
new birth certificate to be female, male, or nonbinary,” states SB 179,
introduced in the California Senate by openly homosexual Democratic senators
Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, and Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco.
SB 179 would delete the requirement that transgender
applicants for changed-sex status on their birth certificate have undergone
“any treatment,” such as body-disfiguring “sex-reassignment surgeries,” such as
a man “transitioning” to become a self-described “woman,” or opposite-sex
hormone therapies.
Instead, it would authorize a person to “submit to the
State Registrar an application to change gender on [their] birth certificate”
based on the applicant submitting an affidavit that his or her changed “gender”
conforms to “the person’s legal gender,” and “not for any fraudulent purposes,”
under penalty of perjury.
License applicants would no longer have the option of
checking the box for male or female - the natural, basic offering since the
early 1900s when drivers' licenses were first issued - could now check a box for 'nonbinary'.
Randy Thomasson, president of the pro-family group
SaveCalifornia.com, assailed the bill’s requirement of creating the
“nonbinary" category, which he said would become a “catch-all for an
endless list of ‘genders.’”
Thomasson also warned about the harmful effects of
eliminating the current California legal requirement that “transgender”
sex-designation-change applicants get a physician's affidavit affirming
that ‘clinically appropriate treatment for the purpose of gender transition’
has occurred.”
“Anyone would be able to ‘change’ their gender, simply
by filing a form with the state,” Thomasson said. ”SB 179 says this signed form
‘shall be accepted as conclusive proof of gender change.’”
Thus, all it would take for minors to "change
their gender” would be “getting one parent to agree, which would automatically
drag the disagreeing parent into court to ‘show cause,’" Thomasson said.
Atkins said at a Sacramento press conference that the
bill "will keep California at the forefront of LGBTQ civil rights,"
the LA Times reported.
As LifeSiteNews reported on another pro-LGBTQ bil on the docket in the California State Assembly, the Democrats' overwhelming dominance in the state makes it difficult to stop pro-LGBTQ bills or any liberal legislation.
But homosexual advocates use conservative attempts to
defeat “transgender” activism to portray the gender-confused (and homosexuals)
as victims, a standard LGBT political tactic going back decades.
"As the LGBT community — but especially the trans
community — is under assault in this country, California needs to go in the
opposite direction and embrace the trans community and support the trans
community and modernize these laws," said Wiener.
Even Thomasson admits that due to the political power
imbalance in Sacramento, SB 179 “can’t be beaten on merit,” but he said it “can
be defeated on process.”
Identity fraud, and encouraging gender confusion among
kids
Thomasson said that if SB 179 were to become law,
“Children would be lied to about nature and health, and entertain the idea that
it's OK for a doctor to cut off their healthy body parts.
“At the DMV, 15- and 16-year-olds getting learner's
permits and driver's licenses will be told they are either ‘male,’ ‘female,’ or
‘nonbinary,’" he said.
Thomasson said the "third gender" bill would also make it harder for cops to identify criminals and make it easier for the latter to commit identity fraud.
“Imagine how police and courts would be befuddled by
this new identity fraud. Imagine the arrest of a biological male whose driver's
license says ‘nonbinary,’" he said. “Or someone whose new birth
certificate says ‘nonbinary,’ but they dress as a man one day and a woman the
other.”
