Purpose.
deny the biological reality of sex purpose
access intimate sex
spaces for women, from women, to women
eradicate the biological reality of sex
attack women
depriving them of their dignity
The erasure of sex in truth is critical
immutable biological reality of sex
biological facts.
the true and biological category of “woman”
transforms laws and policies
defend women’s rights
protect freedom of conscience
recognize two sexes, male and female.
These sexes are
grounded in fundamental
incontrovertible reality.
promote this reality “Sex”
immutable biological classification “Sex”
not a synonym
there is a vast spectrum of genders
disconnected from one’s sex.
from biological reality and sex
existing on an infinite continuum,
as a replacement for sex.
the term “sex”
Federal employees’ sex,
single-sex rape
shelters the freedom to express
the nature of sex
