Bill Summary

A BILL To prohibit individuals from accessing or using single-sex facilities on Federal property other than those corresponding to their biological sex, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, called the "Protecting Women's Private Spaces Act," seeks to prohibit individuals from using single-sex facilities on federal property that do not correspond to their biological sex as determined by their reproductive system. The bill defines single-sex facilities as spaces like restrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms intended for one biological sex. Federal property is broadly defined to include buildings and lands owned or leased by any U.S. government department, agency, or instrumentality. The bill provides specific, biological definitions of "female" and "male" based on reproductive capabilities, emphasizing natural reproductive system characteristics. The legislation includes two key exceptions: emergency medical personnel responding to medical emergencies and law enforcement officers who are actively pursuing a suspect or conducting an investigation. Essentially, the bill aims to restrict access to sex-specific spaces on federal property to individuals whose biological sex matches the designated facility, potentially impacting transgender and gender non-conforming individuals' ability to use facilities aligned with their gender identity.
