Protecting Women’s Private Spaces Act
This bill prohibits access to single-sex facilities (like restrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms) on federal property unless the individual's biological sex matches the facility's designated sex. It directly affects anyone using federal buildings, military bases, or postal facilities, requiring them to use spaces corresponding to their biological sex as defined in the bill. Key provisions define "biological sex" based on reproductive systems (male/female) and allow exceptions only for emergency medical personnel or active law enforcement during investigations. The bill does not apply to private or non-federal spaces, focusing solely on facilities owned or operated by the U.S. government.
