Biological definition of male and female establishment

SF 886, introduced in the Minnesota Senate on February 3, 2025, amends Minnesota Statutes section 645.451 by adding specific definitions for terms like "female," "male," "girl," "boy," "father," "mother," "gender," and "sex." The bill defines "female" as an individual with a natural reproductive system producing eggs and "male" as an individual with a natural reproductive system producing sperm, excluding those with developmental or genetic anomalies. It explicitly states that "gender" is not synonymous with gender identity, and clarifies that "sex" refers to biological sex, not gender identity, in legal contexts. This bill directly affects how these terms are interpreted in Minnesota law, particularly in statutes, administrative rules, and guidelines.
