Pennsylvania’s political landscape is witnessing a controversial shift as two Democratic lawmakers propose a bill to remove the designation of biological sex from birth certificates. State Representatives Benjamin Sanchez and Joe Webster are spearheading this initiative, arguing that it will simplify the process for individuals to adjust their “gender identity” without facing bureaucratic hurdles. They believe this change will address the discrimination some individuals face when there is a discrepancy in their designated sex on official documents.
The representatives have articulated their position in a memorandum, emphasizing the need to reassess outdated practices. They draw parallels to historical changes, such as the removal of racial data from birth certificates, which they argue was once a tool of systemic discrimination. According to Sanchez and Webster, eliminating the sex designation echoes this progressive approach, allowing individuals to navigate their identities more freely without unnecessary barriers.
This proposal is inspired by a recommendation from the American Medical Association (AMA), which supports the idea of gender identity over biological sex. The AMA has been a vocal advocate for this perspective, promoting the belief that one’s gender identity can differ from their biological sex. The organization’s influence is notable, as it represents a significant voice in the ongoing debate about gender identity and its implications in society.
Currently, Democrats maintain control over Pennsylvania’s House and governorship, while Republicans hold the majority in the state Senate. This political dynamic sets the stage for a potential legislative battle over the proposed changes to birth certificate documentation.
The lawmakers assert that their bill will dismantle bureaucratic obstacles, making it easier for individuals to amend government records that currently pose challenges due to gender discrepancies.
They argue that the current system imposes unnecessary complications for those who wish to live according to their gender identity. By removing sex designations, the proposed legislation aims to align Pennsylvania’s bureaucratic processes with contemporary understanding of gender identity, ensuring that individuals can live authentically without facing institutional barriers.
The AMA’s 2021 resolution supports this perspective, advocating for the removal of “male” and “female” markers from birth certificates. They argue that the purpose of these documents is to confirm the occurrence and location of a birth, not to categorize individuals by sex.
The resolution suggests that sex should only be recorded on the U.S. Standard Certificate of Live Birth for medical and statistical purposes, rendering its presence on birth certificates unnecessary.
Critics of the AMA’s stance point to the organization’s broader agenda, which includes supporting medical interventions for transgender youth. The AMA has been involved in advocating for access to hormone treatments and surgeries for minors who identify as transgender.
This position has stirred significant debate and controversy, particularly among those who question the appropriateness of such interventions for young individuals.
The AMA, along with other medical groups, has even called on the Biden Administration’s Department of Justice to take action against those who oppose their views on treating gender dysphoria in children. This move underscores the contentious nature of the gender identity debate, which continues to polarize public opinion across the country.
Representative Sanchez and Webster’s proposal is set against this backdrop of broader societal shifts. They argue that by co-sponsoring their bill, lawmakers can take a crucial step toward making Pennsylvania’s bureaucracy more inclusive and reflective of individual identities. They view the removal of sex designations as a simple yet significant change that aligns with the evolving understanding of gender.
The debate over the proposal is likely to intensify as it moves through the legislative process. Supporters see it as an essential measure to ensure equality and respect for all individuals, while opponents may view it as an unnecessary concession to a left-leaning ideology that disregards biological realities. As the discussion unfolds, it remains to be seen how Pennsylvania’s political landscape will respond to this proposed change.
Ultimately, the outcome of this legislative effort will have implications not only for Pennsylvania but also for the broader national conversation on gender identity and its place in government documentation.
The proposal marks a significant moment in the ongoing dialogue about how society understands and accommodates diverse identities.

Transgenderism is the only mental illness that tries to force the rest of society to accept their delusion as a course of treatment.
Not surprising dems want to make our society genderless. Their success in turning their party into a genderless (and soul less) organization has motivated them to bring the same to all of us.
So in Pennsylvania, the new babies are creatures, not humans, so UN their Birth Certificate. They shouldn’t even have one. They should just have a tattoo with the number on their forehead with next to their Swastika and a big d tattooed. For democrat on the nose
Though you did not say it, you probably meant Democrat babies. Why even bring innocent babies into the discussion in the first place?
Colorado Cowboy; exactly what they been trying to accomplish for all!
And the Dems think they will get more votes by being Godless, argumentative and irrational? Listen to the Congressional Dems question (accost/slander) Trump’s candidates. The Dems will never learn and we need to vote them ALL out of office, both local and federal in 2027.
All Demoncraps MUST GO! Rino’s right behind them!
These people are sick! How does anyone trust them? They appear to have no common sense or moral judgment.
Gene all true but the main thing is they have no MORALS and serve Satan!
Just one more reason why that party is no longer in power, they’ve once again shown their ri f-ing diculous way of thinking !
John so true!
This would work like, hey another little it was born just move it along on down the conveyor belt!
Justice Must prevail, and by God it is going to; starting NOW!
The Demoncrap party is NOW over! The lies and corruption from so many evil players is going to be put away as it should have been long ago! No more Marxist evil Law-fare and locking up innocent whoever you please on “Trumped-up fake charges!”
Lock them all up (the actual criminals), starting with all of these Demoncrap, Rino culprits!!
GOD will judge these Demoncrat CREATURES for this and send them where they truly all belong-HELL!
Truth!
Matthew 25:46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
Matthew 25:31-46 NIV “The Sheep and the Goats”
to hell with these people and the broom they road they road in on start with them by removing their sex organs
They’re all sick bitches and bastards! Cursed with evil and yes bound for the infernal pit!
The AMA’s claim that the purpose of these documents is only to confirm the occurrence and location of a birth is a partial truth which liberals like to use to support their arguments. Birth certificates also serve to help identify people. They don’t believe names are important either? Male and female stats may not be important to them but they serve many purposes.
Note: This article with two absolutely insane idiots serving at any level of government and the Senate’s hearing considering the confirmation of Trump’s nominee for FBI director fully demonstrates the true character of so many people claiming to represent the Democrat party and/or the so called Progressive Movement. I listened to the senator from Vermont repeat lie after lie while trying to degrade the nominee and Donald Trump. The fact that the senator is in office and that many Americans tune in the View and listen to idiots like the two proposing to leave sex off birth certificates demonstrates that my lessons learned providing that Americans are the most effectively lied to people in modern times and that arrogance minus knowledge equals stupidity are valid.

RAPE, PILLAGE, PLUNDER; AMERICA YOU’VE BEEN HAD! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
My fellow Americans, as an 82 year old soldier/cop serving primarily in counter-terrorism and installation/community security activities throughout most of my career (joined army while Eisenhower was in office) I have been trying since 1986 to make each of you aware of the primary threats to you, your family, and your country. I have asked Americans over and over again what will it take for you to stand up and take back those rights given to you by God and promised to be respected/protected by our founding fathers when they drafted the Constitution? From what I see/hear/feel each and everyday since Joe Biden stole the presidency I must admit to the American people that those of us serving in the military and/or as police officers have failed to protect you from all of your enemies both foreign and most especially domestic.
Now, In consideration of all of the corruption/incompetence/treachery/etc., coming forth under the brightest light ever thanks to the Biden/Harris administration and their bosses/supporters here and around the world, I am just asking where most of you Americans stand in regards to your rights/roles/duties as citizens.
Seems the arrival of Donald J. Trump followed by Biden’s theft of the Presidency has stripped us all naked to expose not only the sores on our bodies, but those on our souls as well!
The lessons learned I am presenting to you may give you a glimpse into the inner world of a government that devotes most of its time/energy ruling you versus serving/protecting you from the vantage point of one who served in government from the municipal through the federal level as a soldier and cop.
Most of the lessons learned (Note: After the Biden/Harris administration’s performance to date in dealing with hurricanes Helene and Milton, and now the ongoing disaster in California displaying in roaring flames the incompetence/corruption of the far left dominated governments, I have only included those lessons learned most relevant to the current situation and eliminated those that may overly stress many of you.) were originally drafted in the late eighties as the prelude to a book titled: ‘Rape, Pillage, Plunder; America, You’ve Been Had!’ The Department of Defense denied permission to publish the book in that they classified an investigation detailed therein that named a gaggle of politicians and bureaucrats at every level of government as subjects. Three of those subjects went on to be elected to the office of President of the United States of America!
A SOLDIER/COP’S LESSONS LEARNED
NOTE: Newest and hopefully best lessons learned first.
*Donald Trump, is the American people’s last hope and the only “Battle Captain” to ever serve as our Commander-in-Chief is now standing tall among us. America, are you willing to stand with him?
*The end goal of the World/American elites and their minions is not (nor ever has been) socialism, communism, fascism, or capitalism. The elites of the World/America and their minions have used all manner of ideologies, religions, terrorism, wars, etc., to drive the masses/peasants/serfs/whoever/whomever/whatever in one direction. That direction leads to one of the oldest forms of human control ever employed in the history of mankind. That form of human control is; “FEUDALISM!”
* The ‘Seven C’s of Leadership’ according to a survey of Vietnam era ground combat veterans listed of the order of their importance to the veterans are; Candor, Competence, Consistency, Commitment, Courage, Compassion, and Courtesy. The reason the veterans chose “Candor” first and foremost, is because candor encompasses both omission and co-mission. To a combat veteran the lack of absolute candor, be it co-mission or omission, are equal sins! It has been my observation that, democrats are masters of co-mission while republicans are masters of omission! How many politicians do you know who even attempt to follow the the Seven C’s of Leadership?
*The American people are the most effectively lied to people in modern times thanks primarily to the political class, the bureaucracy, the media, and academia.
*The greatest threats to the American people are the hoards of self-serving, corrupt, and/or incompetent politicians/bureaucrats/academicians found at every level of government/academia, and the majority of the so-called media.
*The second greatest threat to the American people is that presented by radical Muslims bent on ridding the world of non-believers, installing Sharia as the only law of the land, and Islam as the world’s only religion. Note: For all of you non-Muslims who think you support Islam I strongly suggest you carefully study the game plan supposedly first presented by Mohammad (The Prophet) in the early 600’s and the current socialization/cultural practices of the current Iranian government. I submit unless you are a sadistic male you will not enjoy life as a Muslim.
*Most of the politicians/bureaucrats/academicians/media types I have encountered during my years as a soldier and a cop I currently refer to as; self-serving, witless, corrupt, incompetent, cowards. Prior to retiring to the deep woods I referred to most of the before mentioned folks as self-serving, witless, corrupt, incompetent, cowardly, piss-ants. After retiring to the deep woods I came to know that piss-ants are neither self-serving nor witless, and certainly not cowards!
*There are only two primary requirements to be a career soldier and/or cop in America. One must be smart enough to do the work and dumb enough to take the job.
*American soldiers and police officers must in addition to mastering all of their professionally mandated tasks learn to accomplish the same with at least one arm tied behind their backs, and their vision and hearing impaired 50% or more.
*After carefully watching the whole of the political class for many years I can say without reservation that most of the group will sell their souls and our bodies just to remain in power.
*Want to see what the United States of America will look like if the left/progressives take total control of the government? Take your pick, New York City, Baltimore, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland, Portland, or the complete packages; California, New York, Illinois, etc, etc, etc…..!
*Arrogance minus knowledge equals stupidity (A – K = S!).
Have a nice day,
Soldier/Cop,Retired
