A bill passed in the House on Thursday, which defines male and female as the only two sexes.
HB 111, a bill focused on defining the terms “man” and “woman,” aims to safeguard women’s rights, as stated by the bill sponsor.
If this bill becomes law, it will require that children’s birth certificates only designate them as either male or female. However, there will be an exception for children whose sex cannot be determined at birth.
State Representative Susan DuBose (R-Hoover) has sponsored a bill that aims to address the issue of transgender women competing against biological women in college sports. According to DuBose, the legislation seeks to bring clarity to the matter for courts and agencies involved.
According to DuBose, there is a concerning shift in the definition of what it means to be a woman. In light of this, it becomes crucial to safeguard women’s rights.
In addition, she emphasized that her bill solely delineates sex and does not exhibit any discrimination based on gender. However, State Representative Marilyn Lands (D-Huntsville) expressed concerns about the potential unintended ramifications of the legislation.
State Representative Phillip Ensler (D-Montgomery) emphasized the significance of addressing workforce issues and urged the Senate to prioritize real solutions over divisive political bills. He stressed the need for focused attention on crucial legislation in order to effectively tackle the challenges faced by the workforce.
According to DuBose, she is hopeful that the approval of her bill will serve as a catalyst for the Senate to promptly address the companion bill, which is currently making its way to the Senate floor.
