The revisor of statutes shall delete the word "gender" and insert the word "sex" when the term is standing alone and not part of a phrase, such as gender identity.

(1) "woman" means an adult human of the female sex, and a "man" is an adult human of the male sex; (2) "girl" means a human female who has not yet reached adulthood, and a "boy" is a human male who has not yet reached adulthood; (3) "mother" means a female parent of a child or children; (4) "female," when used in reference to a natural person, means an individual who has, had, will have, or would have (but for a developmental anomaly, genetic anomaly, or accident) the reproductive system that at some point produces ova; (5) "male," when used in reference to a natural person, means an individual who has, had, will have, or would have (but for a developmental anomaly, genetic anomaly, or accident) the reproductive system that at some point produces sperm for fertilization of female ova; (6) "father" means a male parent of a child or children; and (7) "sex" means his or her biological sex, either male or female, designated at birth. There are only two sexes, and every individual is either male or female. "Sex" does not include gender identity or any other terms intended to convey a person's sense of self; and gender identity and other terms may not be used as synonyms or substitutes for "sex."
