Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) introduced a bill this week to legally erase transgender people, entitled the “Defining Male and Female Act of 2024.” He claimed that the bill will stop what he called the Biden administration’s attempt to “replace biological sex with dangerous radical gender ideology.”

The bill is a long list of terms and definitions, where words like “father” and “girl” are defined with the words “male” and “female.” Those two words are then defined as “an individual who naturally has, had, will have, or would have, but for a congenital anomaly or intentional or unintentional disruption, the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports and utilizes [sperm or eggs for male or female, respectively] for fertilization.”

    Aren’t doctors supposed to take an oath to do no harm? This will cause so much harm.

      Republican lawmakers only swear an oath to whomever is paying them the most.

      Edit: Democrats do it too, just not as obviously and not all of them. Until we get rid of corporate lobbying, we’ll be firmly in an oligarchy.

      Technically, no. “Do no harm” was the motto of a 19th century French physician and later made its way into medical textbooks, but it is not found in the Hippocratic oath.
