Colbert Rips Trump Admin For Proposal Defining Gender on ‘Biological Basis’: ‘Oh, Now You Care About Science!’ (Mediaite)

Stephen Colbert blasted the Trump administration over a proposal that would redefine the legal definition of “gender.”

Colbert began by calling it a “random act of cruelty” and that the administration “spun the wheel of discrimination” and “landed on transgender” over a report from The New York Times about how the government is considering “narrowly defining gender as a biological, immutable condition determined by genitalia at birth” and that, as the NYT suggests in its headlines, transgender “could be defined out of existence.”
