Biological Sex Definitions: Male and Female in Federal Law

This act establishes clear, biological definitions of male and female for use across all federal laws and regulations. This means sex will be determined solely by biological reproductive functions, and gender identity will not be recognized as a basis for identification under federal law.
Key points
Male and female are biologically defined based on the capacity to produce sperm or eggs at conception.
Terms like 'boy', 'girl', 'father', 'mother', 'man', and 'woman' are strictly tied to these biological sex definitions.
Gender identity, understood as an internal sense of self, will not be recognized by the federal government as a substitute for biological sex.
