Gender X: Trans Activists Want “Emergency” Bill to Add Third Gender Option to State Forms

Maine legislators are considering a bill that would mark yet another step in Maine’s quest to adopt policies that accord with far left beliefs about gender and human sexuality.

In this case, the bill would required government forms to adopt a third option — in addition to the biological sexes male and female — in order to accommodate individuals who identify as something other than their biological sex.

“When completing a form and asked to check a box indicating their sex or gender, many people selected one of the binary options like male or female without giving it a second thought, but for those that exist outside the binary this is a fraught stressful embarrassing and even harmful choice,” said Gia Drew.

Drew, a self-identified “queer trans goth princess LGBTQ+ activist,” is the Executive Director of the left wing Equality Maine, a combination 501(c)3 / 501(c)4 organization that advocates for late-term abortion and broader access to sex-change drugs and surgeries for children.

No members of the public appeared to oppose the bill.

On Tuesday, Maine’s Judiciary Committee held a public hearing to discuss LD 2235, a bill that would add a third gender option — “X” — on numerous official forms.

The bill, sponsored by Rep. Matt Moonen (D-Portland), chair of the Judiciary Committee and a former employee of Equality Maine, would force the Department of Administrative and Financial Services, the State Court Administrator, and the Executive Director of the Legislative Council to amend all forms that ask a person’s gender, and provide a third option.

The bill would also demand that the government organizations review all forms which ask a person’s gender, and entirely remove the question if it is not deemed necessary for the form.

It is unclear how the state organizations will determine whether the form requires gender, or how, in cases when gender is required, the form could properly serve its purpose if someone chose “X” as his or her gender.

The public hearing on the bill had a very small turnout, with only one person, Drew, speaking over Zoom in favor of the bill.

No one appeared to speak against the bill, and only two people chose to speak neither for nor against it.

Barbara Cardone, Director of Legal Affairs and Public Relations for the Maine Judicial Branch, spoke neither for nor against, and supported adding more gender options to forms, but expressed concerns over the difficulty of implementing the new rules.

“Somewhere along the line in history, humans have figured out It’s important to know if you’re dealing a man, or you’re dealing with a woman,” said Gil Tierney, who spoke neither for nor against the bill, “but it was never done to make people feel good.”

Tierney, an Augusta resident speaking only on his own behalf, gave testimony opposing the bill, but nevertheless decided to speak neither for nor against it.

    Another step to their ultimate goal; to allow them to imprison their political enemies for “misgendering” and “hate speech”. Once their delusions are recognized by the state they can be protected by law; Like in Canada and the UK.

    And just how much extra is this gonna cost ALL taxpayers? Idiots.

    If they must then I suggest they call it WHATEVER. That seems to be inaccurate, broad and uninformative enough…

    Then let’s make MAGA a gender.

    Sound like a good idea to me. It’ll alert the officer that this person has a high probability of violent propensity so elevated caution can be warranted. Its the modern day equivalent of tattooing IDIOT on your forehead.

    Hey “only”, In case you haven’t noticed the majority of mass shootings in the past 2 years have been from sexual deviants. The term going postal is soon to be replaces with “going tranny”.

    all of a sudden its an emergency. Nope. dont think so.

  8. ME Infidel on March 6, 2024 8:28 AM

    Another freak and director of an organization who shouldn’t be given the time of day. Yet, here we are actually discussing this total BS.
