Biden HHS Passes Anti-Science Rule Change To Redefine Sex
In an “anti-discrimination” rule change, President Joe Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) redefined “sex” to include “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” as opposed to the word’s biological definition.
The new guidance reverses Trump-era rules defining “sex” as grounded in one’s gender assigned at birth.
“It is the position of the Department of Health and Human Services that everyone – including LGBTQ people – should be able to access health care, free from discrimination or interference, period,” said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra.
The changes aim to expand gender-reassignment surgery and hormone therapy on the taxpayer dime.
