American Medical Association Urges Removal of Gender From Birth Certificates

The American Medical Association (AMA) recently made a statement urging for the removal of sex as a legal designation on public birth certificates. According to the AMA, requiring a sex designation on birth certificates can lead to discrimination and unnecessary burden on individuals whose current gender identity does not align with their birth sex. The report notes that a person’s sex designation at birth would still be submitted to the U.S. Standard Certificate of Live Birth for medical, public health, and statistical use only.

The AMA’s resolution has received mixed reactions from medical professionals. While some argue that sex designation should remain on birth certificates for accuracy and medical purposes, others support the removal of sex as a legal designation to reduce discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community.

As Kenyans, we need to reflect on our morals and stance on LGBTQ+ rights. In a recent statement, President William Ruto expressed his opposition to the LGBTQ+ community, stating that it goes against Kenyan culture and morals. However, it is important to consider the impact of discrimination on the LGBTQ+ community and their right to equality.

The intersection of medical science and LGBTQ+ rights is a sensitive and complex topic. While some may argue that sex designation on birth certificates is necessary for medical reasons, it is important to consider the implications of such designations on the LGBTQ+ community. Discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community is a real and ongoing issue, and it is important to take steps to reduce it.

In conclusion, the AMA’s resolution urging the removal of sex as a legal designation on public birth certificates has sparked an important conversation about the intersection of medical science and LGBTQ+ rights. As we continue to debate this issue, it is important to consider the impact of discrimination on the LGBTQ+ community and their right to equality.
