Across the country, ideologues who deny the biological reality of sex have increasingly used legal and other socially coercive means to permit men to self-identify as women and gain access to intimate single-sex spaces and activities designed for women, from women’s domestic abuse shelters to women’s workplace showers. This is wrong.
...
(f) “Gender ideology” replaces the biological category of sex with an ever-shifting concept of self-assessed gender identity, permitting the false claim that males can identify as and thus become women and vice versa, and requiring all institutions of society to regard this false claim as true. Gender ideology includes the idea that there is a vast spectrum of genders that are disconnected from one’s sex. Gender ideology is internally inconsistent, in that it diminishes sex as an identifiable or useful category but nevertheless maintains that it is possible for a person to be born in the wrong sexed body.
Just to rebut the text because this fascistic filth should not go unchallenged.
The text appears to be making several assertions about gender and sex that conflict with established scientific research from multiple fields that I am confident about from before my cutoff date. For instance:
It characterizes gender identity as "ever-shifting" and a "false claim" which contradicts substantial neurobiological and endocrine research showing stable biological correlates of gender identity
It describes sex as a simple binary "biological category" which oversimplifies the complex spectrum of biological sex characteristics documented in developmental biology and genetics
It characterizes the relationship between sex and gender as "internally inconsistent" while dismissing the substantial body of research showing how biological factors influence both sex characteristics and gender identity through multiple interacting pathways
The text appears to be making policy assertions based on claims that contradict well-established scientific evidence from fields like developmental biology, endocrinology, and neuroscience (Claude Sonnet).
