Kansas will no longer change birth certificates for trans applicants HotAir

Kansas has reached the next stage in its battle over government recognition of transgender identities. Democratic Governor Laura Kelly joined other Democratic state leaders in 2019 by allowing people to change the gender listed on their birth certificates. But the GOP-controlled legislature passed a new law this year overriding Kelly s veto and defining gender as the sex of a person assigned at birth and ensuring that official state documents would reflect that reality. The howls of protest have already begun, but the policy is in place, and barring any future reversals, no such altered birth certificates will be issued. (Associated Press)

I confess I really do not understand the impulse behind the trans-gender movement (?). Homosexuality I think I understand. Some people are I gather born that way. At least that seems to be the current scientific understanding. Certainly many great philosophers were homosexual, whether practicing or not, so it’s hard to say it’s dysfunctional. But the trans stuff — I just totally don’t get it. Or rather, I think I do get it, and it’s not good.
