More “gender” insanity in Massachusetts. C.J. Doyle, Exec. Director of the Catholic Action League of Mass., explains:
Re: Senate Bill 2429, An
Act Relative to Gender Identity on Massachusetts Identification.
This proposed law, if enacted, would have four
effects.
A
third gender designation -- X, in addition to M and F -- would be allowed on all
public documents issued by the Registry of Motor Vehicles which identify
Massachusetts residents. These documents would include driver's licenses,
learner's permits, state identification cards and liquor purchase
identification cards.
On
their application to the Registry for such a document, a person would be
permitted to choose their gender designation, regardless of their biological
sex. This choice could include gender X.
Secondly,
any person over eighteen years of age, or in the case of a minor, their parent
or guardian, would be permitted, retroactively, to alter their birth
certificate to designate their sex as X, or to some other, yet unspecified,
designation.
Thirdly,
a person will be permitted, retroactively, to amend their certificate of
marriage, altering both their name and their gender designation, which could
include gender X, or some other potential gender designation.
Finally,
all state agencies which minister to young people -- including the
Department of Youth Services, the Department of Families and Children and the
Department of Mental Health -- will be required to disseminate to the charges
in their care information on changing their sex and gender designations and to
establish protocols to assist them in this process.
S.2429
was passed to be engrossed by the Massachusetts Senate on July 27th. The vote
was unanimous, 39-0, with all 36 Democrats and all three Republicans voting in
the affirmative… The measure will now
be taken up by the Massachusetts House of Representatives.
[C.J.
Doyle comments:]
"This bill will require the Commonwealth to affirm and give legal sanction
to the ideologically driven delusion that gender is a subjective social
construct, which can be altered arbitrarily and capriciously, rather than what
it actually is, which is an objective and immutable biological reality.
"It
will make government a party to this delusion. It will confuse and falsify
public records, and compel government employees, in some cases, against their
consciences, to participate in this falsification.
"It
will result in discrimination in public employment against those who hold a
traditional understanding of reality, and will make the investigation of
offenders more difficult for law enforcement.
"Section
4 of the bill will essentially empower government bureaucrats who
administer programs for youth to proselytize the minors in their care for
so-called gender transitioning.
“It is an insane and malign
proposal, and it ought to be rejected."
And so, we return to the ultimate question: What is “gender”? No one can answer (except with a circular definition). And yet it is already embedded in the laws across the US. Now Congress is poised to pass the “Equality Act” which would force the entire country to bow to gender insanity.
