Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) introduced a bill to codify the definitions of “male,” “female,” and “sex.”
The bill would enshrine President Trump’s order declaring that sex is a “biological reality.”
“The erasure of sex in language and policy has a corrosive impact not just on women but on the validity of the entire American system,” the order read. “Basing Federal policy on truth is critical to scientific inquiry, public safety, morale, and trust in government itself.”
“The Democrats’ radical transgender agenda is dangerous and wrong. We shouldn’t need legislation to tell us the basic reality that there are only two sexes, but here we are,” Marshall said. “I’m thankful President Trump has made this a top priority and signed an Executive Order on his first day in office recognizing that there are only two sexes. Congress must ensure this historic action is written into law by passing the Defining Male and Female Act.”
Marshall’s bill defines “gender identity” as a concept “disconnected from biological reality and sex and existing on an indeterminate continuum, and, because such an identity does not provide a meaningful basis for identification for purposes of Federal law, the term shall not be recognized by the Federal Government as a replacement for sex.”
Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) introduced a companion bill, saying, “Now more than ever, we must unite to uphold the truth and biological reality established by God that there are only two sexes.”
“I am proud to stand alongside Senator Marshall in introducing the House companion to the Defining Male and Female Act to ensure our nation upholds common sense and puts an end to the Left’s dangerous and extreme sexual fantasies,” Miller stated.
