Republican Congresswoman Mary Miller is proving once again that common sense hasn’t completely vanished from Washington, D.C. On a mission to restore clarity in gender issues, Miller introduced the “Defining Male and Female Act” to push back against the Biden administration’s bewildering amendments to Title IX, which now whimsically includes “gender identity” and “sexual orientation.” The proposed legislation aims to legally enshrine definitions for “sex,” “male,” and “female,” stripping away the confusing jargon like a bad haircut.
Set to take effect on August 1, the Biden administration’s revisions have been criticized as a direct attack on women’s sports and spaces, allowing those with male anatomy to compete against biological females. According to Miller, the bill will establish boundaries that prevent future administrations from dancing around the definitions of gender to fit their whims. The congresswoman emphasizes the urgency of the matter, urging the House to act swiftly in passing the bill to safeguard the rights and opportunities of biological women and girls.

Under the proposed legislation, “female” is defined with clarity rarely seen in today’s political climate: an individual possessing a reproductive system that, barring any genetic or developmental hiccup, has the ability to produce and transport eggs. Conversely, “male” is described as having the corresponding reproductive system capable of generating sperm. This isn’t just semantic gymnastics; it’s an essential move to restore truth in the ongoing debate about gender.
The statute further stipulates that “sex” will refer explicitly to the biological categories of male and female, a straightforward determination that seems to elude many in today’s society. Miller’s bill signals a desperate need for legislative backbone in the face of growing confusion surrounding biological truths, an issue that conservatives have been keen to address for quite some time. It’s like trying to explain why the sky is blue to someone who insists it’s plaid.
Many Republican leaders at both the state and federal levels are rallying against the Biden administration’s interpretations of Title IX, deeming them a direct contradiction to the original intent of the 1972 statute. In fact, judges in multiple states have pushed back against these ill-conceived reforms, affirming that the protections for women enshrined in Title IX should remain sacrosanct and untainted by ideological whims.
The frustration is palpable, as the Biden administration’s foray into gender identity aims to redefine fundamental aspects of human biology. This bill isn’t just about definitions; it represents a broader fight against a tide of “gender ideology” that many see as undermining the very fabric of society. The Messenger of Common Sense, in the form of Mary Miller, seems determined to remind everyone that to protect women’s rights, the conversation must begin with a clear understanding of what “male” and “female” truly mean.
