Bill Summary
A BILL To establish clear and consistent biological definitions of male and female.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to establish strict, biologically-based definitions for sex-related terms across federal law, specifically defining "male" and "female" based on reproductive system characteristics at conception. The bill defines a "female" as a person with a reproductive system capable of producing eggs, and a "male" as a person with a reproductive system capable of producing sperm. It provides explicit definitions for related terms such as "boy", "girl", "man", "woman", "father", and "mother", and notably rejects "gender identity" as a legally recognized concept, describing it as a subjective sense of self disconnected from biological reality. The legislation would amend Chapter 1 of Title 1 of the United States Code to codify these definitions, which would be used in interpreting any Act of Congress, federal agency regulations, or rulings. By emphasizing biological sex determined at conception as the sole basis for these definitions, the bill aims to create a consistent and unchanging legal framework for understanding sex and gender across federal statutes and regulations.
