Truth in Gender Act of 2025
- Introduced
- Passed House
- Passed Senate
- To President
- Became Law
Overview
This bill mandates the use of biological sex language in federal policy and law, rejecting gender-identity terminology and requiring recognition that sex is immutable and binary. It directly addresses how schools, healthcare, and other institutions must communicate about sex and gender.
Why it matters: Christian families concerned about gender ideology in schools and public institutions will see this as protective of parental rights to teach biological sex norms; opponents view it as restricting LGBTQ+ recognition. Either way, it explicitly targets gender language policy in ways that affect school curricula, student policies, and institutional practice.

What this changes
Creates a new law or program
Law today: The bill does not spell out the prior law. However, it implies that current federal policy or practice may use language or policies that do not explicitly recognize biological sex distinctions in the way the bill proposes.
If passed: The bill would establish federal law requiring 'clear and accurate language and policies' that define women as biologically female and men as biologically male. For Christian families, this could affect how schools, government agencies, and healthcare systems discuss and implement policies related to sex and gender, potentially restricting use of alternative gender-identity frameworks in those contexts.
