Greetings from FRC Action!
We wanted to share the following information with you from our friends at
California Family Council. If you have previously received this message,
please simply disregard this second contact. We did, however, want to make
certain that you, your friends, and your neighbors would be aware of this
very critical information.
We encourage you to join California Family Council in making your voice
heard today!
____________________________________
[This afternoon], a California senate committee will consider a bill to
radically redefine the meaning of the words "male" and "female," and
officially recognize a third gender, "non-binary." SB 179, authored by Senator
Toni
Atkins (D-San Diego) and Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) will
streamline the process for people wanting to change their gender on government
documents, such as driver's licenses and birth certificates. If the bill is
approved, the gender listed on these documents will no longer need to
reflect biological reality, but will be determined by personal preference and
feelings....
At a _press conference_ (http://bit.ly/2n7F3Yh) earlier this year, Atkins
described her excitement over this proposed law. "It is moving us forward
into a new world," Aktins declared. "Where acceptance is the very
foundation of letting people be who they tell you they are."
While sympathetic to the difficulties of those experiencing gender
dysphoria, California Family Council CEO Jonathan Keller has grave concerns
about
this bill's impact.
"We believe government documents need to reflect biological facts for
identification and medical purposes," Keller said. "Secondly, the bill
advances
a falsehood; that being male or female, or no gender at all is a choice
each person must make, not a fact to celebrate and accept. Laws like this
will simply erase any meaningful gender definitions, if being male or female
is completely divorced from biological facts."
A simplified process for parents to change the gender of their children,
even toddlers, is also a feature of this bill....
_The American College of Pediatricians (ACP)_ (http://bit.ly/2n7GZAi) has
publicly condemned changing the gender of minors calling it "abusive." The
organization explained their position in an article on their website
titled, "_Gender Ideology Harms Children._ (http://bit.ly/2n7N4N4) " It
states,
"When an otherwise healthy biological boy believes he is a girl, or an
otherwise healthy biological girl believes she is a boy, an objective
psychological problem exists that lies in the mind not the body, and it should
be
treated as such."
The article goes on explain that many as 98% of gender confused boys and
88% of gender confused girls eventually accept their biological sex after
naturally passing through puberty.
"The [APC] maintains it is abusive to promote this ideology, first and
foremost for the well-being of the gender dysphoric children themselves, and
secondly, for all of their non-gender-discordant peers, many of whom will
subsequently question their own gender identity, and face violations of
their right to bodily privacy and safety."
Under current California law, individuals can change their sex on their
birth certificate, but they must make the request in person before a judge.
Additionally, a doctor has to verify an individual is receiving gender
transitioning medical treatment before making the change. SB 179 would remove
both of these requirements. Choosing a new sex on a driver's license will
only require a person to check one of three boxes: male, female, or the new
third gender option "non-binary" for those who do not want to identify as
either sex.
The bill will be heard in the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee
[today] at 1:30 p.m. Let the _members of this committee_
(http://bit.ly/2n7DFoL) hear your thoughts about this troubling bill.
