Unfortunately it seems a large number of Dems could no longer pass 9th grade biology so it has no chanceRep. Mary Miller Introduces Defining Male And Female Act
WASHINGTON - This week, Congresswoman Mary Miller (R-IL) introduced the Defining Male and Female Act, which will constitutionally codify the definition of gender as male and female. Representative Miller released the following statement:marymiller.house.gov
I look forward to all Republicans and Democrats supporting this legislation.
If we are to believe what has been posted here then this should pass quickly and without opposition

Not the title or a brief summary. What is the text of the bill? I can't find it listed on either GovTrack or the LOC.
You’ll have to wait for the lawyers to write up the orientation of male and female bodies for reproduction.
Well, then, you sir shall have to wait for my support! Seriously, Miller is a kook, and I'm not signing off on anything she does sight unseen.
agreed but shouldn't they be focusing on something that is actually important?Rep. Mary Miller Introduces Defining Male And Female Act

There are 535 members of Congress. They ought to be able to do at least three or four things at the same time.

You have to ask why do we need a legal definition of “sex”, “male”, “female”?
because people used to have some common sense??
No one contested the inherent differences.
Slippery slope there Spartans.
Is it currently defined? I have no idea
Legally….I don’t believe so….but I’m just a drug dealer so who knows
Defined by law. If so, great. But I doubt it is. Probably because we never had to. But there’s often things that were undefined which, through the course of history, we’ve had to define.
Huh? Why do some make everything so hard? I mean I wasnt aware there was a law declaring if you had a dick, you were a dude---and if you had a vagina, you were a chic... I found this out in , for real, real----in 6th grade health and science class....And sure I read it about somewhere in this one book----The Bible---Ya know that part where it says, God created MAN/WOMAN.
Actually, we did. We've had one for centuries. It was just a pretty basic one.
What about post-op transexuals? Are you cool with trans women competing with biological women in sports, so long as they have their wangs cut off?
Why do we now need a precise definition?
Yes, obviously. Our previous definition conflated sex and gender, and based it almost entirely on genital phenotype, which works 99% of the time, but has become less helpful in the 20th century. Since our previous definition was rooted in the common law (and actually dating back to the Romans, Greeks, and even Arabs - I'm not sure about the Germans/Saxons), if we're going to have a hullaballoo about it, I guess we need to discuss it.
It will have to define based on reproduction and normal development. But it will have to take into account the less than 1% you acknowledge that involve a disorder with regards to development
The problem with scientific progress is the things we took for granted we can't anymore. For example, lack of a penis is no longer enough evidence that you should play sports with girls.
That’s where the Normal development comes in.

Well that's not true, but it doesn't matter for most issues.
Stupid science, Pluto isn't a planet and dinosaurs are birds (and several we learned about didn't even exist).
I am OK with this...
You're being inconsistent. If you don't want post-op transexuals competing in women's sports, then defining sex by whether or not you have a penis isn't good enough.

There are intersex people. That's a fact of biology. They are rare, but they do exist, and they have for as long as history has been recording things about sex. They make an appearance in all those old forms of law I mentioned. We used to call them hermaphrodites, after a Greek god who was both male and female.Are There More Than Two Sexes?
Recent years have seen a concerted effort to overthrow the longstanding scientific consensus that “male” and “female” represent two real, discrete biological categories in humans. The Oxford philosopher Amia Srinivasan, for instance, rejects the notion that biological sex is “natural,”...
I haven’t seen proof that there are more than 2 sexes.
It's not bad terminology. If someone has both female and male sex organs, how can they be "male or female" as you put it?
