Two More States Enact Laws Defining “Man” and “Woman”

---

OKLAHOMA CITY – In a clear pushback against harmful and destructive gender ideology, Oklahoma and Louisiana officials recently codified biology-based definitions into state law, including “man,” “woman,” and “sex,” to uphold the “biological distinctions” between the two genders and protect the “safety and privacy” of females in the public arena.

Last week, Governor Kevin Stitt signed into law Oklahoma’s “Women’s Bill of Rights,” while earlier this week Governor Jeff Landry signed Louisiana’s “Women’s Safety and Protection Act.” Both laws establish legal definitions for man, woman, male, female, boy, girl, mother, and father by recognizing the natural differences of the sexes “at birth.” The laws acknowledge simple biological reality to dispel any ambiguity so the two states can intentionally differentiate between the sexes to protect women’s spaces and competitions from the intrusion of gender-confused males.

Oklahoma’s “Women’s Bill of Rights” (HB 1449) overwhelmingly passed the state’s Senate and House 35-7 and 79-17, respectively. The law states its “purpose” is to provide “clarity, certainty, and uniformity” as to how “both biological sexes” are treated in the state.
