Alabama legislationtransgender rightsreproductive systems versus gender identityAlabama lawmakers pass a bill defining sexes based on reproductive systems rather than gender identity, among widespread legislative moves affecting transgender rights.
The bill, voted for by the Alabama House of Representatives 77-24, states there are only two sexes and disregards gender identity for legal sex definition, sparking opposition for targeting transgender, nonbinary, and intersex individuals' rights. It requires state laws and identifications to align with the federal law, specifying sex based on reproductive anatomy.
