S.Res.53 - A Resolution to Affirm Biological Sex in Law The legislation, S.Res.53, titled "A resolution establishing a Women's Bill of Rights to reaffirm legal protections afforded to women under Federal law", aims to establish a legal definition of "woman" based solely on biological sex assigned at birth. This measure could undermine existing civil rights protections for transgender individuals and enable discrimination based on gender identity and expression. Rather than codifying narrow gender definitions that exclude certain groups, greater efforts should promote equality, inclusion, and respect for all people's diversity. Comprehensive policies safeguarding everyone's fundamental rights and dignity, regardless of gender identity or expression, would be a more constructive approach toward a just and compassionate society.
