HB2391 - Defining Gender Based on Reproductive Biology Alone Promotes Discrimination This bill seeks to codify narrow definitions of "male" and "female" based solely on the ability to produce sperm or eggs, failing to account for the complexity of gender identity. Such an oversimplified approach promotes discrimination against intersex and transgender individuals by creating unnecessary barriers to public services and accommodations. Rather than increasing safety, this legislation risks cementing unfair treatment into law for vulnerable groups. Arizona should reject this attempt to legislate identity and instead protect all residents equally through policies fostering inclusion and understanding.
