HB50 mandates that, for legal, regulatory, and statistical purposes in Wyoming, a person’s biological sex at birth (male or female) must be used. It defines “female” as someone with a reproductive system producing ova and XX chromosomes, and “male” as someone with a reproductive system that fertilizes ova and XY chromosomes. The act requires separate accommodations for males and females in areas such as athletics, prisons, and restrooms, emphasizing these distinctions relate to important governmental objectives like safety and privacy. It also mandates that vital statistics and data collections identify individuals based on their biological sex at birth.
The Wyoming State House of Representatives failed to introduce HB50 on February 15, 2024 by a vote of 37 to 24. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the Left has been promoting radical Marxist notions that someone can self-identify as whichever gender they choose. The indoctrination that leads people to believe they can choose their pronouns and identify as a different gender is immoral. Scientifically and biblically, there are only two genders.
