Bill > S1147

This bill seeks to establish clear and consistent biological definitions for sex-related terms in federal law, focusing on defining male and female based strictly on reproductive biological characteristics at conception. The bill provides specific definitions for ten terms, including "male", "female", "boy", "girl", "man", "woman", "father", "mother", "sex", and "gender identity". Notably, the bill defines "female" as a person with a reproductive system capable of producing eggs, and "male" as a person with a reproductive system capable of producing sperm, both determined at the point of conception. The legislation explicitly states that "gender identity" will not be recognized by the federal government as a replacement for biological sex, describing it as a subjective sense of self disconnected from biological reality. By adding these definitions to Chapter 1 of Title 1 of the United States Code, the bill aims to create a uniform, biology-focused approach to understanding sex and gender in federal legislation, regulations, and interpretations across government agencies.
