The bill would add a new section to Title 1, Chapter 1 of the United States Code that gives specific definitions for sex-related words used when interpreting Acts of Congress, federal rulings, regulations, and agency actions. It defines: "boy" as a minor male; "girl" as a minor female; "man" as an adult male; "woman" as an adult female; "father" as a male parent; and "mother" as a female parent. For natural persons, "female" is defined as a person who, at conception, belongs to the sex characterized by a reproductive system that produces eggs (ova), and "male" is defined as a person who, at conception, belongs to the sex characterized by a reproductive system that produces sperm. "Sex" is defined as an immutable biological classification of either male or female as determined by the section. "Gender identity" is defined in the bill as an internal and subjective sense of self, described as disconnected from biological reality and sex and existing on an indeterminate continuum, and the text says the Federal Government shall not recognize gender identity as a replacement for sex.
The bill directs that these exact definitions be used to determine the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any federal ruling, regulation, or agency interpretation. The bill text itself does not describe specific changes to programs, records, or services.
