This New Question For Birth Certificates Clearly Illustrates That The World Has Gone Crazy

In the latest step down the road of total and complete insanity the new form required of parents applying for a birth certificate in New York City now asks if the “mother giving birth” is “female.”

The New York Post reports on this lunacy:

A city Health Department form for new parents requesting birth certificates asks the “woman giving birth” if she’s male or female.

Along with routine questions — mother’s maiden name, mother’s legal name, mother’s Social Security number — is a gender question that has raised a few eyebrows.

And just in case the inquiry is not clear, the birth-certificate request provides a convenient check box and asks the question in capital letters. “What is your DATE OF BIRTH, current AGE and SEX?” the form asks in the section clearly marked “Mother/Parent (Woman Giving Birth).”

“To be clear, it is possible for a person who has given birth to a child to identify as male,” said Susan Sommer, a lawyer for Lambda Legal, an advocacy group for lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender people.

Sommer said that given various transgender stages, there is room for the person who gives birth to check the male box.

Not to leave the father out, the form asks dads the same question and gives them the same check-box options. Only there’s no “giving birth” notation in that section.

Liberals are coming to the defense and hailing it as a stride in the right direction of acceptance of a new America, which includes all manner of differences in lifestyles. “To be clear, it is possible for a person who has given birth to a child to identify as male,” said Susan Sommer, a lawyer for Lambda Legal, an advocacy group for lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender people.

Sommer sympathizes with individuals caught in the interim between male and female, since the process of changing identity from how you were born can be a lengthy one, and shouldn’t impede someone from procreating while en route to becoming the opposite sex. She explained that given various transgender stages, there is room for the person who gives birth to check the male box.

To be fair, the “father” is also asked the same gender question with identical check box choices, just sans the “giving birth” notation in that particular section. If determining who is father and who is mother in a gender-confused relationship isn’t mind-boggling enough, let’s not forget that this is being asked after a baby has been brought into this world to be raised by the sexually ambiguous duo, inevitably leading to a lot of confusion in the child.
