First State Passes Law Defining Gender as a Person’s Biological Sex at Birth

[ccn]

Kansas has become the first state to adopt a definition of gender with the passage of legislation that keeps men, no matter what gender they identify as, out of women’s bathrooms, locker rooms, sports, and other intimate spaces.

It also separates inmates and restricts participation in sports by biological sex.

The move came late Thursday afternoon when the state legislature voted to override Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto of S.B. 180, which became known as the “Women’s Bill of Rights.”

Under it, a female is defined as “an individual whose biological reproductive system is developed to produce ova.” A male is defined as “an individual whose biological reproductive system is developed to fertilize the ova of a female.”

It also defines gender words calling for “woman” and “girl” to be used to refer to human females and “man” and “boy” to refer to human males. It defines “mother” as a parent of the female sex and “father” as a parent of the male sex.


The override comes a little over a week after Kelly vetoed the bill on April 20. She vetoed the bill after it was passed by a two-to-one margin between Republicans and Democrats in both the House and Senate.

Kelly said she vetoed the legislation because she was concerned it would open the state up to costly discrimination lawsuits, cause the loss of federal funding, and hurt the Sunflower State’s economy.

The bill garnered widely diverse support with staunchly pro-choice women’s rights groups celebrating the veto.

“Victory!” tweeted the Women’s Liberation Front (WOLF), upon news of the veto override.

In rallying for support of the bill, the national women’s rights organization, which actually helped craft the legislation, wrote on its website: “This bill takes procedural steps to write into law common sense definitions that ensure the meaning of words like ‘woman’ and ‘mother’ aren’t corrupted by unelected bureaucrats intent on pushing gender ideology.”

The group said members sent more than 600 messages to Kansas lawmakers in support of the bill.

Kansas, isn't that where they voted down the abortion ban?

Stupid fucking Republicans just refuse to learn. Good. They'll be job hunting next election.

In the meantime you folk have something new to get angry about. Enjoy. But be fully prepared to eat it.
