Sen. John Kennedy slammed a CNN report that claimed “gender identity” is unknowable at birth by laying out that there “are only two sexes.”
“It’s very easy to tell a boy from a girl. A boy has a penis, a girl has a vagina. Those are physical characteristics,” the Louisiana Republican told Fox News’s Tucker Carlson Wednesday evening.
“Sex is the language we use to describe reproduction,” Kennedy said. “In humans, there are only two sexes — male and female. Males have the potential to produce sperm; females have the potential to produce ova. These are observable physical characteristics. Sex is not a spectrum. It’s binary; you’re either male or female.”
His comment comes in response to a CNN article on South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem issuing executive orders banning transgender girls and women from competing on women’s sports teams.
CNN ROASTED FOR CLAIM THAT ‘GENDER IDENTITY’ IS UNKNOWABLE AT BIRTH
Within the body of the story, CNN reporter Devan Cole wrote: “It’s not possible to know a person’s gender identity at birth, and there is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth.”
The statement was not attributed to a source and was subsequently dragged on social media.
This is in a NEWS article at CNN: “It’s not possible to know a person’s gender identity at birth, and there is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth.”

Remember when the propaganda outlet CNN ran an ad campaign about “facts” called “this is an apple, this is a banana”? Maybe they should work on “this is a penis, this is a vagina.” https://t.co/RiaQYM8es8

Kennedy added during his interview that he believes gender dysphoria “exists” but said it’s “rare.”

“Now, I do believe that gender dysphoria exists. It’s rare, maybe 1 in 30,000 males, 1 in 100,000 females,” he added. “Gender dysphoria is not an observable physical characteristic. It’s an internal feeling. It’s an internal feeling that a person of one sex has when he internally identifies with another sex.”
