Federal Law Defines Sex as Binary Biological Category Based on Reproductive System.

This Act establishes uniform, biological definitions for "male" and "female" across all federal laws and regulations. Sex is defined strictly by reproductive capacity (producing eggs or sperm), regardless of self-identification. This means that under federal law, sex is a fixed biological trait, and gender identity is explicitly separated from the legal definition of sex.
Key points
The term "sex" in federal law will be defined exclusively as a binary biological category (male or female), based on the reproductive system.
"Gender identity" is legally separated from the definition of "sex" and cannot be used as a synonym in interpreting federal statutes.
Federal agencies and courts must use these biological definitions when interpreting existing and future legislation, potentially affecting rules for single-sex facilities and sports leagues.
