Gov. Kim Reynolds’ new attempt to enforce conservative values in Iowa, introducing a bill that would define the words “sex,” “man” and “woman” in state law, has raised the hackles of civil rights and LGBTQ groups. It sounds simple, but the bill would have wide-ranging implications, including requiring changes to the way Iowa collects public health data, issues birth certificates and driver’s licenses, and offers anti-discrimination protections. House Study Bill 649, creates a new section of the Iowa Code defining a person’s gender as their sex assigned at birth.
