"Trump Administration Eyes Defining Transgender Out of Existence."
A NYT headline. I recommend not using "eyes" as a verb in headlines. My eyes can't take it. I get distracted in useless searches for meaning: Why allow eyes to define things? But maybe some people love interposing confusion and tripping up the readers. I remember long ago, back in the 1990s, there was a headline that began "Clinton Eyes Higher..." — I think the whole thing was something boring like "Clinton Eyes Higher Taxes." I laughed like lunatic at the notion that the news was that somehow Clinton's eyeballs had been relocated to a higher position on his face. In case you're making a study of my personal sense of humor: It still makes me dissolve into giggles.But on to the serious stuff. From the new article:
[T]he Department of Health and Human Services is spearheading an effort to establish a legal definition of sex under Title IX, the federal civil rights law that bans gender discrimination in education programs that receive government financial assistance, according to a memo obtained by The New York Times."Wrongfully" is the wrong word. The question is what the statute means, and the argument is that the Obama administration wrongly — incorrectly — read the text to include gender identity. It's much easier to say that the Obama administration got it wrong than to say it read the statute "wrongfully," which means that it pursued injustice or unfairness. The interpretation could be incorrect — a wrong interpretation of the statute — but consistent with principles of fairness and justice. Indeed, legal minds are often drawn toward incorrect interpretations of statutes precisely because they want to get to fairness and justice. Those who defend the Obama administration's interpretation will deny that the interpretation is wrong, and of course, they don't think it's wrongful. But those who attack the Obama adminstration's interpretation only need to say that it's wrong. They don't need go so far as to say it's unjust or unfair to protect transgenders from discrimination. They only need to say that's not what Title IX does.
The department argued in its memo that key government agencies needed to adopt an explicit and uniform definition of gender as determined “on a biological basis that is clear, grounded in science, objective and administrable.” The agency’s proposed definition would define sex as either male or female, unchangeable, and determined by the genitals that a person is born with, according to a draft reviewed by The Times. Any dispute about one’s sex would have to be clarified using genetic testing....
For the last year, health and human services has privately argued that the term “sex” [in the text of Title IX] was never meant to include gender identity or even homosexuality, and that the lack of clarity allowed the Obama administration to wrongfully extend civil rights protections to people who should not have them.
