Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed legislation defining the word sex in state law, becoming the second state this year to provide an answer to the increasingly polarizing question, “What is a woman?”

Senate Bill 1440 clarifies that sex means “a person’s immutable biological sex as determined by anatomy and genetics existing at the time of birth,” letting the state Legislature draw clear sex-based distinctions in areas such as public accommodations and scholastic sports.

What is a woman? And what does it matter? It is becoming increasingly difficult to talk about women’s rights, or even basic biological reality, in a common language.

While most Americans understand that a “woman” is an adult human female, radical gender ideologues want to redefine womanhood as a subjective state unrelated to biological sex. This redefinition of once-assumed basic facts has serious consequences for equal opportunity, privacy, safety and freedom of expression.

The Kansas Senate on Thursday became the first chamber to pass the Women’s Bill of Rights, a measure that defines “woman” and “man” in state law. The distinction is central to the push to preserve single-sex areas such as public restrooms, school sports, prisons and shelters.

Republican lawmakers introduced legislation Thursday to protect biological sex as a distinct legal category.

Republicans are introducing a “Women’s Bill of Rights” in order to enshrine into law protections for females based on their biological sex.

Representatives Debbie Lesko (AZ-08), Jim Banks (IN-03), Diana Harshbarger (TN-01), Claudia Tenney (NY-22), Mary Miller (IL-15), and Vicky Hartzler (MO-04) will join Independent Women’s Voice to affirm their support for legal protections afforded to women and girls and discuss to-be-announced legislation on May 19, 2022. Tune in to watch the unveiling.
