comments - by Friday, January 24

Will did respond with the following
suggestion that we incorporate a
summary rather than a quote as
follows:

The society of evidence-based
gender medicine has declared

that the conflation of sex
and gender in health care is
alarming, subjects hundreds
of thousands of individuals
*to the risk
of* unintended medical harm,
and will greatly impede
medical research.

However, I'm not sure addresses your
fundamental concern.

I agree with removing the SEGM quote from the
findings. I do not know if the Society for Evidenced
Based Gender Medicine is on our side, to where the
quote can be changed, or not. If they testify, and are
on our side, I would be very wary of them saying
anything regarding TG, CG or “non-binary,â€​ and
perhaps have a conversation with them to that
effect.

I would not want to see anyone on our side
intentionally put those terms into the record. Using
them surrenders the language. Language frames the
debate. If the other side’s language frames the
debate, we lose.
