性别身份是否应该出现在出生证明上?

07 July 2017

Why do we think it's so important to assign a sex and gender to a baby at birth? Does it really serve an important public policy or public health purpose, or does this practice more reflect our irrational need to classify people along these axes as quickly as possible?

There are lots of characteristics about babies that you can immediately tell about them. Why does sex make the cut? Moreover, why do we think it's then okay to impose a vast set of norms on that child that differ based on the gender culturally associated with that sex?

The followingAeonHeath Fogg Davis的一篇文章就解决了这些问题。戴维斯特别关注了跨性别者因在出生证明上列出性别身份而面临的显而易见的伤害。
