The utter absurdity of "assigned at birth"

Conider this sentence that appeared recently at CNN:

"People who are assigned male at birth have an X and a Y chromosome, 

while those assigned female at birth have two X chromosomes."

https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/25/world/y-chromosome-fully-sequenced-scn/index.html

What a bizarre redefinition of basic terms.

Up until recent years (I'm not sure when the linguistic transition occurred), 

that sentence would have been written more simply and clearly as:

"Men have an X and a Y chromosome, 

while women have two X chromosomes."

Pretty simple, right?

What's wrong with that?

Also, note that the simpler formulation relies on clear and undisputed science.

Unlike what comes from those dodos who can't tell 

the difference in meaning between the words "assign" and "recognize."

You notice, by the way, that this whole "transgenderism" thing is jacking up the income to the medical community.

More surgeries, more drugs, more income.

Just what the doctors love.

And all totally avoidable.

If only doctors, journalists, and academics wouldn't chase the latest wokeism.

I think it is very positive that molecular geneticists have been able to sequence the Y chromosome.

That is real science.

In contrast to the politics and ideology that underlies "gender studies".

What all this demonstrates is that 

"transgenderism" is the denial of reality, 

aided and abetted by a bizarre, weird ideology and some profiteers.
