American Medical Association Blasted After Calling For Removing Sex From Birth Certificates

Conservative News DailyAugust 2, 2021

The American Medical Association (AMA) faced intense backlash late last week and over the weekend after calling for sex to be removed as a legal definition on the public part of birth certificates.

The backlash came in response to a tweet from WebMD that highlighted the call from the AMA.

WebMD’s report claimed:

Requiring it can lead to discrimination and unnecessary burden on individuals whose current gender identity does not align with their designation at birth, namely when they register for school or sports, adopt, get married, or request personal records.

A person’s sex designation at birth would still be submitted to the U.S. Standard Certificate of Live Birth for medical, public health, and statistical use only, report authors note.

Some of the most notable responses to the far-left call from the AMA included:

Jonathan Kay, editor at Quillette: “Thanks for making it more difficult to argue down vaccine skeptics. Every time I say ‘trust medical science,’ they can just point to this clown show.”
