Republican lawmakers are pushing to establish a “Women’s Bill of Rights” to reaffirm legal protections for biological females.

House Resolution 1136 defines sex as a person’s biological sex at birth: “woman” and “girl” refer to human females, and the terms ‘‘man’’ and ‘‘boy’’ refer to human males. The resolution is not legally binding.
