I mean, am I crazy here? I'm all about libertarian ideas and letting people be who they are but......

On one hand I think "Great, why don't you just ask me if I feel like a male, female, or other". But then I realize that these facilities KNOW it's crucial to know if I am biologically male or female, and if that's the case, then any additional clarification is purely for the entertainment of the patient.

If this were a mental healthcare provider, then I could see that this question would be important as a therapeutic diagnostic, but this is not that kind of place.

The whole thing is dumb but it is pretty easy to see what they are going for. Sex-biological gender-social. I don't agree with it but just fill out the stupid form, get your blood drawn and carry on with your life.
I can't imagine getting worked up about a question on a lab registration form.

I would select gender queer or the most ridiculous option they have.

Just like I never enter my real race or ethnicity on any form that asks for it.

It has been explained to me that Sex is biological and gender is cultural. It's the best explanation I have found to help it make sense. Either way, I don't think it's needed any more than my boot size in this instance.

Isn't it interesting how all cultures for all of history have had gender roles based on biological sex, though, and that this idea that males can become women and females become men is only a recent thing?

Well, that's actually fine in a vacuum but most of the insane left I've seen online argue they are one and the same. In that, there are more than 2 sexes. Of course, there are not.

Quest Diagnostics has not. It's a bit alarming to me when a business dedicated to health cannot figure out your gender after you select your sex. Yikes.

Maybe, The gender question should be part of the mental illness exam.

The question is so you can evaluate the legitimacy of the health care facility

How does any of that nonsense apply to the point of the situation? Meaning, does it make any impact or have any relevance at all in terms of how the lab runs its testing? If the answer is no, then just ask if you are XX or XY (*****, vagina, or both), and leave it at that. Anything beyond that makes it pandering.

Considering we are talking about literal science it's concerning that a company responsible for 50% of the lab results in this country is placating the most anti-science position going.

What else are they compromising if they are going to give on the most absurd anti-science topic running?

It's yet another slippery slope, leftist issue that degrades reality.

Who is worked up?

XX = female
XY = male

K.I.S.S. - if there is a "Y" chromosome in any of the variations of the above, then you are male. No "Y" chromosome? You are female. The rest is just social science gobbledygook BS intended to confuse the easily influenced. Don't be fooled.

Good times create weak ass liberals

A certain portion Question Diagnostics' customer base is delusional and demands validation of their delusion from everyone with whom they interact. This delusional component of their customer base are also frequent repeat customers for monitoring hormone levels and the myriad of other physiological conditions that are consequent to hormone treatments they take to support their delusion. Quest has decided to make them happy given that they will be seeing a lot of each other and generating steady revenue from their delusional mental illness. They also want to avoid roid-rage incidents in their lobby waiting areas and to avoid their customers being emotionally agitated around needles.

In other news, Bruce Jenner has decided to resume living as a man because he has weighed the health consequences of continuing the clinical support for his female delusion.

they are the MF SAME

Right there with you.

Adolescent me had way to much faith in humanity to believe that our society could be manipulated by those in power using someone's mental illness for their political game to keep us arguing with each other over inconsequential nonsense.

I read 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 and thought no way could our society lose common sense and be manipulated by obvious lies

I was so naive

The Jenner thing is an internet hoax

I believed the hoax without a second thought. I stand corrected.

Watch your thoughts; they become words; watch your words; they become actions; watch your actions; they become habits; watch your habits; they become character; watch your character, for it becomes your destiny."

It's about control

Who has the power to control not just a country, but the world's thought process

The ability to put words in your mind and have you think a certain way controls the way you believe

It's crazy that somebody has a power to put this thought into such organizations like healthcare politics lexicon of a society


Then they start adding things like -"it takes a village to raise a kid " because they want to control how they raise your kid

They don't know your kid
They have no idea what's going on with your kid, but they want to have say so

In law school there was the debate if , there was a constitutional right to raise a child as you see fit

Being that the most important thing in your life is your own body and your family I don't think there's anything more important than that

I think society came together just so we can protect our body and family and now they want to control that

They do that by controlling words

Notice the amount of slander in our political ads

People just believe

They control peoples belief system with words

Sometimes the pin is more mightier than the sword


And they control the media, which means they control the thought process of millions upon millions of people if not the entire world


I don't know who they are

But the giveaway that somebody is behind the strains is that everybody is in unison about what they say at the exact same time and the exact same way

That just doesn't happen organically especially with unusual or fringe or strange ideas that take hold so strongly

It's planned is my only conclusion

Any chance "sex" is the gender you want to have sex with, meaning, as a heterosexual male you should actually put female in that section?

I typically refuse to fill out forms if the gender options are greater than three.

Gosh I hope not. Otherwise I've made quite an error.
