Protect Human Rights: Reconsider SB1628 Definitions of Sex and Gender

The current progression of SB1628, which rigidly defines sex and gender based on biological attributes, is concerning. This bill disregards the lived experiences and identities of transgender and non-binary individuals, potentially legitimizing discrimination based on gender identity. It is crucial to recognize the diversity of human experiences and identities, rather than reducing them to narrow biological definitions. The replacement of "gender" with "sex" in discrimination laws could further marginalize already vulnerable groups. Therefore, it is requested to reconsider the implications of this bill and work towards legislation that respects and protects all identities. This is not just about semantics; it's about human rights and dignity.
