The New York Times reports (free registration required) that New York City is considering allowing people born in NYC to change the sex on their birth certificate, even without undergoing sex-change surgery.


Unbelievable, and yet in our postmodern times it is very believable. In a world where a pregnant mother can define whether her unborn baby is valuable and worthy of life, or invaluable and able to be killed, and in a world where morals are defined by each individual, it is not surprising that objective facts of biological reality can be redefined by mere self-determination as well. We are living in very confused times.

Thank you Max for being the first to bring this to my attention.
