The New York Times ran a story this weekend that put the entire transgender community on

edge.

The headline was, Transgender Could Be Defined Out of Existence Under Trump Administration.

The Times got a hold of a health and human services memo from the spring that reportedly

seeks to strictly define gender at birth.

You got boy parts or girl parts and them's the breaks for life.

And if there's any confusion, the government can work it out with some genetic testing.

There is concern raised in this New York Times report that this is the goal of the Trump

Administration.

Dominic Holden is a politics reporter at Buzzfeed News.

This piece had claimed that the administration was considering denying the very existence

of transgender people.

There's a few concerns about leaping to that conclusion though.

The first is that there are a number of other policies and federal laws that already recognize

transgender people.

The other one though is that we don't know if this memo from last spring represents

basically the wish list of one person or if this is something agreed upon across federal

agencies, if there has been any decision made about adopting this, or if there is any

sort of formal policy or regulation forthcoming.

Has the Trump Administration has health and human services commented on this yet and said,

look, here's what that memo means by the way from the spring, here's what's up now.

Yes, sort of.
