Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter has introduced the Truth In Gender Act, a legislative proposal that seeks to formalize an executive order issued by former President Donald Trump. The executive order in question is titled “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.”
The proposed act aims to reaffirm traditional definitions of gender within federal government policies, identifying women as biologically female and men as biologically male.
Carter emphasized the importance of this definition, stating, “Biological men cannot be women, and biological women cannot be men. That’s a scientific fact.” He further expressed support for Trump’s original executive order and highlighted the potential impact of codifying it into law: “With a clear definition of the two genders, we will be able to further protect female spaces from biological men masquerading as women and the radical liberal politicians, like Jon Ossoff, who put them there.”
The bill reflects ongoing debates around gender identity and policy at the federal level.
