She-Males & Social Policy

One of President Obama's recess-appointees, Chai Feldblum, was key counsel on the drafting and negotiations over ENDA: The Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2009.

This is legislation that would require all Federal, State and Local agencies, as well as businesses with more that 15 employees, to stop discriminating against those who are either confused about their gender or simply choose to dress like, or undergo surgery to become like, their opposite gender.

Sponsored by Rep. Barney Frank, with 199 co-sponsors, June 24, 2009, The House Education & Labor Committee hopes to vote on this Bill as early as tomorrow [April 21, 2010]. It prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity. According to the Library of Congress summary, it does not apply to religious organizations.

Currently, 38 States have no legislation protecting gender identity. If passed, this Bill will become law in those States, protecting "gender identity" as a minority. This means all State & Local government agencies, as well as businesses employing more than 15 people, will be subject to the law.

Ms. Feldblum is a lesbian activist who advocates for the destruction of the traditional family. She states, "I, for one, am not sure whether marriage is a normatively good institution." [Feldblum, “Rectifying The Tilt"] She is on record as advocating for "polyamorous" relationships. (modern commune?) She wants the government to promote every type of relationship as equal to traditional marriage. Her reasoning is purely subjective: (I believe)

The fact that the American Psychiatric Association currently considers gender identity confusion to be abnormal doesn't seem to factor into this debate. The APA calls it Gender Identity Disorder, meaning it's not normal. But that could change.

Homosexuality used to be considered abnormal, but with upwards of 4% of the population claiming to be homosexual that changed in the 1970's. The APA's new Diagnostic Manual is being released sometime in 2013, so we'll have to wait and see.

The fact that this legislation would allow teachers, undergoing sex changes or just cross-dressing, to continue in the classroom, is appalling to most parents. But for Ms. Feldblum, Rep. Barney Frank and 199 of his peers, this possibility is accepted because people have rights.

Question: Which Government Agency will monitor and enforce this new legislation?
Answer: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Question: To which Government Agency was Ms. Feldblum appointed?
Answer: You already guessed it!

So, when Johnny's teacher shows up with a dark beard, make-up and wearing a dress, while he is taking female hormones in preparation for surgery, don't be surprised if Johnny gets confused.
