Trump ran on this issue and therefore it’s not a surprise. He also ran on bringing DOWN groceries, gas and housing prices and how is that going?

As a Democrat that has opposed excesses of "woke" left, I find this equally as appalling. No side should be obsessing over identity issues.

And on the topic of trans rights in particular, the political consensus was around children and potentially dangerous medical interventions. Why is the administration targeting trans adults?

Let this be a lesson for everyone--DO NOT trust radical activist of any stripe. And certainly do not put these people anywhere near core government functions.

What difference does it make to SSA what sex/gender you are? Is there anything in program rules which is different by sex? Is it just for purposes of identification? Why do they collect it at all?

This is a great and much needed change. Gender is an immutable trait. Science. Gender identity is whatever you want it to be, which is also why it’s worthless. Today I’m identifying as cyborg.

Official birth data that is very important and used by many agencies.

For sex? Yes, some of the respiratory listings consider sex. Gender, though? No. My understanding was that we previously referred to people by their gender identity because a) it's good customer service to be kind and b) it caused zero objective harm to any SSA employees.

@12:11, he said he’d get it done on day one, just like he’d end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours after taking power. But keep chugging that orange koolaid.
