Full Bill Text
H.R. 5812 would prohibit the word “sex” or “gender” from being interpreted to mean “gender identity,” and require “man” or “woman” to be interpreted to refer exclusively to a person’s genetic sex, for purposes determining the meaning of federal civil rights laws or related federal administrative agency regulations or guidance.
The bill would prohibit federal civil rights laws from being interpreted to treat gender identity or transgender status as a protected class, unless it expressly designates “gender identity” or “transgender status” as a protected class.
