This bill sets one set of biological definitions for words like male, female, boy, girl, man, woman, mother, and father across all federal laws and agencies. It says a person’s sex is a fixed biological status—male or female—based on reproductive anatomy at conception. It also defines “gender identity” as an internal feeling not tied to biology and says the federal government will not treat gender identity as a replacement for sex under federal law.

Key points:

• Who is affected: All federal laws, rules, and agency decisions that use these terms.
• What changes: Clear biological definitions for male and female and related terms; gender identity is not used as a substitute for sex in federal law.
• When: If enacted, it would apply whenever federal laws and agencies interpret these terms.
