Relating to general definitions for and collection of governmental information regarding biological sex.
HB 229 mandates into law an unscientific definition of sex that erases the existence of trans, gender expansive, and intersex people. These definitions not only intentionally exclude people who are intersex, trans and gender expansive, but also, in effect, cisgender people whose bodies do not biologically conform in the way that this bill asserts they should. Mismatched documentation, especially between someone's lived gender and sex recorded at birth, can result in violations of privacy, misgendering and involuntary outing, barriers to care or services, discrimination, and threats to physical safety.
