Reported is more accurate, agreed. DSDs may be the only instance when the ambiguity of genitalia may make sex "assigned." You're right--it's incorrectly recorded as female
Thank you. I think we should resist using their corrupted language at all costs. No one's sex is assigned; it is simply recorded. They want to claim sex is assigned; no, it is not.
How about incorrectly assessed, with that incorrect assessment recorded.
I think the assessment part is always preliminary to the recording, and in pushing back against the "assigned" part we have not noticed that really what their language does is it pretends that assessment isn't part of the process.
The sex of a newborn is not assessed; it's observed and recorded. Overall health is assessed using the Apgar scale, and then that is recorded. If there's a malformation of the genitalia, an assessment would then be done.
It's crazy how quickly the translingua infiltrated the language and embedded itself like a hidden tick. The toughest one, imo, to get people to stop using is "biological" male or female.
ive come to take issue with the use of "assignment" at all. sex is observed and recorded. in a small number of cases there may be clerical errors. when that happens corrections should be mandated to be quick and valid. in an even smaller number of cases there will be a dsd (natural errors). that doesn't mean the doctor/s didnt evaluate what they saw and make their best determination at the time. in obviously ambiguous cases they should prolly just put "Undetermined" and have it followed up on at around puberty
“The International Olympic Committee banned transgender athletes from competing in the women’s category at the Olympics, after telling its members to conduct mandatory genetic testing for women’s competitions.”
The article:
1. Falsely implies that all transgender athletes, including the female ones, will be “banned” from women’s sports
2. Weirdly implies that transgender status can be determined with genetic testing
3. Falsely implies that transgender athletes are being “banned” by virtue of their transgender status, when in fact just the male ones are being excluded on the basis of their sex
This inaccurate, politicized language from the press:
1. Strengthens the highly debatable belief shared by bleeding heart Democrats that trans people’s “rights” are under an orchestrated assault
2. Reinforces the gender cult’s main dogma that gender identity SHOULD take priority over sex, always and everywhere
No one's sex is 'assigned.' It is simply recorded. Please stop using their language.

Assessment is indeed what happens when something is observed. We just don't notice it when the assessment is immediate and easy.

Associated Press used to be reputable. It has become a farce.
Here’s how the NYT mangled the story:
