NBC Explains
‘Cisgender’: ‘Doctor Guessed Your Gender Correctly’ When You Were Born
by Dr. Susan Berry 20 Sep 2016
A study of the 2010 census shows the population of transgender
people amounts to one of every 2,400 Americans, or 0.03 percent
of the adult population.
Still, NBC is offering “gender fluid” advocate Jacob
Tobia the opportunity to explain what the term “cisgender” means, and to
promote the narrative that transgender is “normal.”
Tobia, whose website
bio says he prefers “the gender-neutral pronoun ‘they’ as his
pronoun, is the host of NBC OUT’s Queer 2.0 and “a leading voice for
genderqueer, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming people.”
In the video, Tobia instructs about the term “cisgender,”
stating that if you “don’t know what the word cisgender means that means you
probably are cisgender.”
“If you’re cisgender, it means that you identify on the
same side of the sex you were assigned at birth,” Tobia teaches.
“The thing about cisgender people is that a lot of y’all
like to act like you’re the normal ones, but I’ve got news for you there’s no
such thing as a normal gender,” Tobia asserts. “Cisgender people just got
lucky. The doctor guessed your gender correctly when you were a baby.”
Tobia uses an analogy of a “game show” with obstetricians
as the “contestants” to further the lesson:
A doctor takes one look at us and makes a guess about
what our gender identity will be: “Well, I see a penis, so I think that this
baby will grow up to be a man. Did I get it right?” If you’re cisgender it
means that the doctor guessed your gender identity correctly at birth, and that
you actually like the letter that the doctor put on your birth certificate when
you were born.
For the 0.03 percent of the adult population, however,
who identify as transgendered, Tobia says the doctor was wrong (“Dang it, I
knew I should’ve guessed genderqueer”).
During his final year in office, President Barack Obama
is using the issue of transgendered bathrooms to promote the transgender ideology,
which says government should require Americans to endorse people’s declarations
about their own sex or “gender fluidity,” regardless of biology. In August, the
president’s deputies inserted a rule
into the Federal Register that prohibits all federal properties and facilities
from operating single-sex bathrooms.
Similarly, in May, the Obama administration issued a directive
that all public schools must allow gender-confused students to use the
bathrooms and locker rooms according to their preferred “gender identity” at
any given time. As is often the case with Obama’s decrees, the directive is
backed by threats to cut federal funding designated for school districts that
oppose the policy.
Multiple polls show that
Obama’s transgender policy is very unpopular.
