Um what the hell? Apparently it is part of data collection connected to a 2022 law about determining citizen demographics to track health information. Hey I get the state wanting to know about demographics for health info, decisions, and legislation. But the idea of parents of a 1 day old baby stating if their child is gay, lesbian, or transgender is INSANE. Those kids usually don't figure that out on their own until they are pre-teens or teenagers. There is NO WAY a parent can look at a newborn baby and say that they are transgender. Parents do have the option to decline to answer and I hope they all do. What stupidity.

This is insane. Most ridiculous and stupid thing that one can hear of. I am sure that everyone declined to answer. What's the use of them doing this?

Well, considering the stupidity of your federal overseers, why should your state ones make any sense?

I agree with you. A parent cannot know much about their newborns.
