What does that say about this movement that the lawyers drafting this bill are unable to define gender identity without relying on stereotypes?

This bill will cause suffering that is far-reaching and, in many cases, enduring.

I am hopeful that these documents, along with all of the other questions raised by my colleagues today, will give pause to those who are championing the embrace of this radical trans ideology over biological reality.

What should we tell a woman-owned business that loses out to a Government contract because a man decided to identify as a woman in order to win that contract?

H.R. 5 gives us a definition of gender identity that is based on stereotypes.

H.R. 5 erases civil rights protection for biological women.

There will be many losers because H.R. 5 bows to the political expediency that silence calls for for fairness.

Tell me, what changes do you anticipate being made to Federal law in order to accommodate the DCP?

The California Natural Resources Agency supports implementation of the Seven Colorado River Basin States Drought Contingency Plans (DCPs).

It appears to me at the moment you have seven states all in agreement on this plan.

Any changes that Congress made in this plan would then basically complicate matters enormously.
