During a recent hearing on a Kansas women’s rights bill, an LGBTQ activist claimed it was "incredibly offensive" that the bill mentioned physical differences between men and women.
Taryn Jones, a member of LGBTQ rights advocacy group "Equality Kansas," publicly attacked a proposed Kansas bill defining biological sex during the state’s Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee hearing on Wednesday.
Dubbed SB 180, the proposed legislation states "A ‘female’ is an individual whose biological reproductive system is developed to produce ‘ova’, and a ‘male’ is an individual whose biological reproductive system is developed to fertilize the ova of a female."
As reported by a local Kansas outlet, the bill also advocates for "separate accommodations based on biological sex," and states that "women sometimes need women-only social, educational, athletic and other spaces to ensure safety," including restrooms and locker rooms.
