Truth in Gender Act of 2025
HR 3950, the Truth in Gender Act of 2025, requires U.S. federal agencies to define and enforce "sex" based on biological characteristics at conception (male/female), replacing "gender" in all official policies and communications. It mandates government-issued IDs (like passports) to reflect biological sex, prohibits federal funding for programs promoting "gender ideology," and directs agencies to rescind policies allowing gender identity to override sex in areas like prison housing and single-sex facilities. The bill directly affects federal agencies, contractors receiving federal funds, and individuals interacting with government services, such as those applying for IDs or accessing gender-segregated spaces. Key provisions include requiring all agency forms to list "sex" (not gender), revising prison medical policies to ban procedures altering appearance to match gender identity, and directing the DOJ to clarify sex-based protections under civil rights law.
