There are Two Sexes Act of 2023
3/18/2024, 9:21 PM
Summary of Bill HR 4299
Bill 118 hr 4299, also known as the "There are Two Sexes Act of 2023," is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The bill aims to affirm the biological reality that there are only two sexes, male and female, and to prevent the recognition of any other gender identities in federal law.
The bill states that all federal agencies, departments, and programs must define sex as either male or female, based on biological sex at birth. It prohibits the recognition of any other gender identities, such as non-binary, genderqueer, or genderfluid, in any federal documents or forms.
Supporters of the bill argue that it is necessary to maintain clarity and consistency in federal law and policy regarding sex and gender. They believe that recognizing only two sexes is grounded in science and biology, and that any other gender identities are not based on objective criteria. Opponents of the bill argue that it is discriminatory and harmful to transgender and non-binary individuals. They believe that everyone should have the right to self-identify their gender, and that the government should not restrict or deny the existence of other gender identities. The bill has sparked controversy and debate among lawmakers and advocacy groups, with strong opinions on both sides. It remains to be seen whether the bill will be passed into law, or if it will face opposition and challenges in the legislative process.
