Republicans introduce bill to define ‘male’ and ‘female’ based on biological differences

[Michie]

Several Republican lawmakers introduced legislation to clarify that the terms “male,” “female,” and “sex,” among others, refer to the biological distinctions between men and women when those words are used in laws.

The Defining Male and Female Act of 2024, introduced by Sen. Roger Marshall from Kansas, aims to prevent government officials and courts from reinterpreting those terms through the lens of gender ideology by identifying men and women based on self-identification instead of biological distinctions.

Marshall said in a statement that he “didn’t think we would need legislation to tell us that there are only two sexes, male and female, but here we are.”

Men are xy, and women are xx. Intersex is a birth defect.

Period.

So much for the party of small government.

Good! Yes, it’s a sad state when there has to be legislation to reaffirm what God has made known for centuries since Adam and Eve.

How so? Saying science is science somehow is less conservative? I humbly disagree.

This is a case of counter intervention.

It is amazing we have come to this point ... this must take place or we will continuously have legal nightmares and other problems from it.

We can't dismiss biological science ... male/female is prevalent throughout nature and can not be just ignored.

Men playing dress up aren’t women, period.

It’s rather embarrassing grown adults have to have this discussion.

Deception (including self deception) is the most powerful tool of the evil one. God (all knowing) knew of this deception and why it is very clear ... He made them male and female ... after their own kind.

Amen. The whole LGBT movement comes straight from the evil one.

Less than 0.5% of Americans identify as gender neutral or transgender. Between 2016 and 2020, 0.016% underwent gender-affirming surgery.

There are many issues facing the country and the world, yet both major political parties focus on this topic. Democrats aim to protect and promote transgender rights, while Republicans seek to limit these actions.

No wonder we have so many problems; both parties focus on the wrong things.

Romans 1: 21-23 "
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand!

Being single and celibate is much more joyful, anyway.

In my opinion, they need serious help. They are spiritually sick. Not affirmation their so called gender identity is real.

You are spot on, though!

So the Right in the US has given up genuine Burkean conservativism based on respect for proportionality, moderation, subsidiarity, in favor of reactionary palingenesis, with the state dictating the meaning of words.

The stranger it gets, the more pushback there will be. And yes, it's getting so bad we need the government to step in and manage it.

Transgenderism is a mental disorder.

No one is born the wrong sex.

BUT SATAN might be the one who is whispering in their ear, and try to influence them.
