Federal Law Mandates Biological Definition of Sex, Male, and Female.

This bill requires all federal laws, regulations, and agency interpretations to use strictly biological definitions for sex-related terms. Sex is legally defined based on the reproductive system (the capacity to produce eggs or sperm), explicitly excluding self-identification or gender identity. This change aims to standardize the meaning of sex across the federal government, potentially impacting regulations concerning sports, healthcare, and data collection.
Key points
All Acts of Congress and federal regulations must interpret 'sex' as biologically determined (male or female).
Sex is defined based on reproductive capacity, regardless of gender identity.
The law explicitly states that 'gender identity' is not synonymous with 'sex' or 'gender' under federal law.
Terms like 'woman,' 'man,' 'mother,' and 'father' are legally tied to these biological definitions of sex.
