Not sure if it makes a difference to you guys, but this is only advocating the removal of the info from the public part of the birth certificate, and essentially treat your biological sex as privileged genetic information. It would still be available to doctors and people who have a legitimate need to know, but would not be available to anyone like an employer or someone else who hasn't established a legitimate need to know.
Moreover "employer" - do you suggest that in physical jobs womens shall have similar norms like men ? Same physical requirements for joining army and so on ?
Say that then to some feminists on reddit, I guess they wouldn't like that if they have something working between their ears...
I'm stating what the article is saying so that you understand it's not doctors claiming that biological sex doesn't exist. It's that they want to treat it as information that's not for the general public.
I think that any job that has a physical requirement for participation needs to test any candidate for the ability to manage that physical requirement as a condition of hiring. Woman, man, or whatever, if they pass, they pass and get the job. Seems simple enough.
So sure, let women go through BUD/S. If they can make it through the same training and physical requirements as men, they can be SEALs. I don't care. I've never had a problem with that.
This is more so that if a transgender woman shows up at the interview dressed as a woman, with a woman's name, uses she/her pronouns, and then gives a birth certificate as part of the hiring process, the manager can't see that she is biologically male. If it's medically relevant, the manager will have that information, but it creates a necessity to justify access to that information instead of outing every transgender individual on every job application for Kinkos where it could never matter.
I know the position most of you have on transgender information, but it's just about giving transgender individuals a little more privacy and control over who gets to know they're transgender. It's not the AMA rejecting the notion of gender.

Then why MEDICAL association meddle in that ?
