Mississippi House passes bill defining sex as binary, restricting transgender legal recognition.

Mississippi House lawmakers passed a bill defining sex as binary, aiming to restrict legal recognition of transgender identities. Republican Rep. Dana McLean's bill defines "woman," "man," "mother," "father," "female," "male," and "sex" to support the idea that sex is defined at birth, stating there are only two sexes: male or female. If the Senate approves and the governor signs, the definitions would be codified into state law.
