Male or Female Only Act
This bill requires all federal agencies to revise official forms, surveys, and documents to only offer "male" or "female" as options for recording an individual's sex. It prohibits agencies from collecting any gender identity information or accepting responses indicating a sex other than male or female. The law directly affects federal agencies and every person interacting with their forms, such as during census participation, tax filing, or government benefit applications. Agencies must update all relevant materials within 60 days of the bill's enactment.
