Several states are considering legislation that would create legal definitions for “man” and “woman” based on their reproductive system. This controversial proposed legislation — dubbed by Republican lawmakers as the “Women’s Bill of Rights” — now seen in West Virginia, Iowa, Georgia, and other states has implications for the transgender community, which has been the target of conservative-backed restrictions nationwide. Critics argue that the restriction definitions will lead governments to no longer legally recognize transgender people, leading to discrimination and inaccurate identification practices.
