Idaho Governor Brad Little (R), facing a deadline to act upon bills passed by his state’s legislature this year’s session, signed two bills Monday to protect the integrity of classifications on the basis of biological sex. House Bill 500, the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, specifies that only biological females (as determined by reproductive anatomy, levels of natural testosterone, and genetic makeup) are permitted to compete on sports teams that are designated for females, girls, or women in public schools or colleges. It would be ironic — and tragic — if all the gains made for women’s sports as a result of the 1972 federal law known as Title IX were to be thrown out by requiring women to compete against those who have an unfair competitive advantage — namely, biological males. Blaine Conzatti of the Family Policy Alliance of Idaho noted that “Idaho is the first state in the nation to enact this law protecting athletic opportunities for girls.”

House Bill 509, the Idaho Vital Statistics Act, requires that birth certificates issued in the state record the child’s “sex” at birth, which is defined on the basis of chromosomes and anatomy. The sex on a birth certificate may be subsequently amended only in cases of clerical error, “fraud, duress, or material mistake of fact,” or a disorder of sexual development. The two new laws were routinely referred to in the media as “anti-transgender” bills, but might better be thought of as “truth about biological sex” bills, since they merely give legal priority to the objective reality of biological sex, rather than adopting the novel ideological construct that a person’s subjective and self-selected “gender identity” is more important.

Thank you, Lord for Governor Little’s courage to stand for what is right. Please bless him and protect him from all evil. Please raise up others in many states that have biblical convictions to stand up for biblical principles! May we as a nation repent from complacency and stand for Your Truth! In Jesus Name I pray!
