G&STC stands firmly against Trump's call to erase transgender individuals from federal definitions of sex and gender.
According to The New York Times, the Trump Administration is seeking to define gender as “biological, immutable condition determined by genitalia at birth,” essentially incorrectly defining sex as unchangeable and in a binary of male or female.
G&STC stands in solidarity with transgender communities in opposition to this targeted and toxic move by the Trump Administration seeking to harm millions of transgender and intersex people. Understanding gender as an innate binary construct determined by one’s genitalia at birth is in opposition to to the dominant view held by healthcare providers and medical and mental health professional communities.
Gender is not a binary, and cannot be determined by the body of an infant and the sex one is assigned at birth.
