Nebraska Republican Governor Issues Executive Order Defining What Constitutes Female and Male Sexes
Gov. Jim Pillen
On Wednesday, Nebraska Republican Governor Jim Pillen signed an Executive Order establishing a “Women’s Bill of Rights” and defining the biological differences between males and females. The order aims to provide clarity and protection for single-sex spaces and sports.
Executive Order No. 23-16 specifically defines boy, girl, man, and woman, and includes biological descriptions to clarify any inconsistencies in policy initiatives and court rulings.
“It is common sense that men do not belong in women’s only spaces,” said Governor Pillen.
“As Governor, it is my duty to protect our kids and women’s athletics, which means providing single-sex spaces for women’s sports, bathrooms, and changing rooms,” Pillen added.
The executive order establishes, for purposes of state government:
- A person’s biological sex is defined at birth
- The reasons for defining a person’s biological sex
- Establishes guidelines for reporting of data
From the executive order:
