The backlash came in response to a tweet from WebMD that highlighted the call from the AMA
The American Medical Association (AMA) was torched on Twitter after they called for sex to be removed from legal birth certificates.
WebMD highlighted the call from the AMA, which prompted a backlash.
WebMD’s report claimed: Requiring it can lead to discrimination and unnecessary burden on individuals whose current gender identity does not align with their designation at birth, namely when they register for school or sports, adopt, get married, or request personal records. A person’s sex designation at birth would still be submitted to the U.S. Standard Certificate of Live Birth for medical, public health, and statistical use only, report authors note.
