Do you think doctors should stop assigning gender at birth?

a person is whatever they are born, we cannot decide whether we are male or female at birth you just are born either a male or female and nothing will change that if you are born male you will be male for your entire existence, if you are female you will be female for your entire existence, no amount of money or surgery will make you the opposite if you are unhappy with being what you were born it's just too bad.

The doctor does not assign the gender. Your DNA does that. Either you have a penis or a vulva. That determines your gender.

Literally can't vote in this poll because I hate that phrase. Doctors don't assign anything. No one in the delivery room is determining what your baby's gender is. All they do is use their eyeballs, look at the baby, and write down what they see.

Saying "assigned ___ at birth" implies that it was just some arbitrary decision made apropos of nothing. Look, some things are. You can assign a name at birth. You can assign a number at birth. You don't assign the baby itself at birth. The baby already exists.

For example, let's look at basic math. 12 + 34. When I say the answer is 46, that's not me assigning the answer to the problem. The answer already existed, I just had to figure it out. You don't read a textbook and see "those problems assigned 46 at creation", since that implies that the answer and the problem are separate ideas that only have an arbitrary, artificial connection.

The doctor didn't invent chromosomes, hormones, DNA, or primary or secondary anatomical characteristics. They can't assign those things at birth.

I usually see this phrase without it specifically referring to doctors, though. It could be referring to nature, or the environment, or god, in which case we're using language to fight against an invisible force for the benefit of no one. If you want to be super PC, just use the shorter phrase "biological ____" and move on.

I don't really want to keep this post going, but I realized I didn't really answer the question asked. No, we shouldn't stop [labeling] genders at birth, because acknowledging your biology is actually extremely important for your health. Foods, medications, exercises, sports, bodily functions, there's a lot that boys and girls need separate treatment for.

By extension, they can't wait to decide what their gender is until they get older, either.* Dimorphism doesn't begin at adulthood and, like I said, it's not arbitrary.

*Separating this from trans. If you're an adult and you want to throw your stuff away, fine, but knowing your biological traits doesn't become less important. There's a big difference between switching these things up later in life and throwing them completely out the window from the get-go.

You are either born male, or female...

What you think you are later in life is irrelevant.

Personally I identify as a multimillionaire, but I'm lacking some millions. So if you believe everyone should be what they believe they are, then please help me become what I believe I am. It's the right thing to do!

No, and sex and gender are the same things. Death to the neo genders and their bs ideology.

When I was a child I wanted to be a horse.
Great idea to let kids decide...

No, never either you're a male or female and it'll stick that way.

Assigning sex is enough gender will come later

They're not assigning gender, they're assigning sex which is medically necessary. When the baby is older they can identify as whatever they want.
