Protecting Women’s Private Spaces Act
HR 10186, the Protecting Women’s Private Spaces Act, prohibits access to single-sex facilities (like restrooms, locker rooms, or changing rooms) on federal property unless the user's biological sex matches the facility's intended use. It defines "biological sex" based on reproductive anatomy and function, requiring facilities to correspond with an individual's assigned sex at birth. The bill directly affects users of federal buildings, including those who identify as transgender, by restricting access to facilities aligned with their gender identity rather than their biological sex. Exceptions apply only for emergency medical personnel responding to medical emergencies or law enforcement during active investigations.
