The Trump administration is proposing sweeping changes to the rules governing the 2030 US Census, including a requirement that could make questions about biological sex mandatory for respondents, a change critics say could effectively force transgender people to disclose their trans status to the federal government.
What would prevent someone just claiming their identified sex as their census answer? What’s the penalty?
They make a comparison with your birth certificate, then remove your right to vote because your documents are fake or whatever.
The federal government doesn’t administer elections, that’s explicitly laid out in the constitution as a state power
That hasn’t stopped them yet.
If it just says ‘biological sex’ without defining it then I’m marking male, because anatomy and hormones are both a part of your biological sex 🤷♂️
Anatomy and hormones you produce, yes. Injecting yourself with massive amounts of synthetic testosterone or estrogen isn’t part of your biological sex. Just mark whatever the hell you want, it’s a stupid survey. If you need it to validate yourself you have a lot bigger problems.
Synthesis is not abiological. On the contrary, synthesis implies that the formation of a substance was intended by a biological organism.
Sure but it wasn’t your biology.
Personally I don’t think they’d be able to tell the difference between someone not responding and a response being lost in the mail. The USPS is notoriously unreliable and should be privatized, donchaknow.
The only thing that matters is who wins the 2028 election. This can all be reversed and census is not until 2030
There are still people who believe there is gonna be another election? Cute
