AI Summary
This bill, known as the Truth in Gender Act of 2025, seeks to establish a strict legal definition of biological sex and restrict the use of gender identity concepts across federal agencies. The bill defines "sex" as an immutable biological classification at conception, specifically categorizing individuals as either male (producing small reproductive cells) or female (producing large reproductive cells), and explicitly separates this definition from gender identity. It requires federal agencies to use these biological definitions in all official documents, communications, and policies, mandating that identification documents, personnel records, and forms only recognize male and female categories. The legislation directs agencies to remove statements promoting "gender ideology" and prohibits federal funding for efforts supporting gender identity concepts. Key provisions include preventing males from being housed in women's detention facilities, protecting single-sex spaces like rape shelters, and ensuring that workplace and civil rights enforcement prioritizes biological sex distinctions. The Attorney General is tasked with issuing guidance to clarify and enforce these provisions, including correcting what the bill describes as misinterpretations of previous Supreme Court decisions. While asserting that it does not create new legal rights, the bill aims to comprehensively reshape how the federal government recognizes and addresses sex and gender across various contexts.
