INDIVIDUAL'S SEX -- Amends existing law to define terms and to revise definitions regarding “sex” and “gender.”

Selected quotes

In human beings, there are two, and only two, sexes: male and female; (2) Every individual is either male or female; (3) An individual's sex can be observed or clinically verified at or before birth;

There is increasing confusion about the definition of sex as a bio23 logical truth and its relationship to concepts and terms, including but not limited to gender, gender identity, gender role, gender expression, and experienced gender; (7) Confusion and ambiguities surrounding the definitions of sex, male, female, and related terms can hinder individual efforts to enjoy equal treatment under the law;

(9) With respect to the two sexes, separate facilities, housing or sleeping arrangements, or sports teams, programs, or leagues established because of or organized according to physical differences between the sexes does not constitute unequal treatment under the law;

(a) "Boy" means a minor human male. (b) "Father" means a male parent. (c) "Female" means an individual who has, had, will have, or, but for a developmental or genetic anomaly or historical accident, would have the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports, and utilizes eggs for fertilization. (d) "Gender," when used to refer to males, females, or the natural differences between males and females, shall be considered a synonym for "sex" and shall not be considered a synonym for gender identity, an internal sense of gender, experienced gender, gender expression, or gender role. This definition shall not apply when the term "gender" is used in conjunction with other words or as an adjective to modify other words. (e) "Girl" means a minor human female.
