Restoring Biological Truth in Government Act
- Introduced

Overview
This bill prohibits federal agencies from collecting gender identity data and mandates that all government forms offer only male and female sex options. While not directly regulating schools or families, it affects how federal agencies (including those overseeing education) process and classify information about sex and gender.
Why it matters: The bill creates a federal standard that could influence how schools and educational programs interact with federal data collection, funding, and compliance frameworks—potentially limiting the reach of gender-ideology initiatives tied to federal reporting or grants.

What this changes
Creates a new law or program
Law today: The bill does not spell out the prior law, but it implies that current executive agencies ask about gender identity on forms and surveys, and may offer options beyond male and female for sex or gender questions.
If passed: If enacted, federal agencies would be prohibited from asking about gender identity and would be required to offer only 'male' and 'female' as options for sex or gender questions on all forms and surveys. This would affect how Christian families interact with federal programs—for example, applications for benefits, educational programs, or medical services could no longer ask about gender identity, and responses would be limited to binary sex categories.

Likely supporters & opponents
Likely support
- Religious-liberty and parental-rights advocacy organizations — The bill protects parental rights by preventing federal agencies from collecting gender-identity information that could affect how children are treated in federal programs without parental knowledge.
- Conservative and traditional-values groups — Limiting gender-identity questions to binary sex categories aligns with biological and traditional understanding of sex difference.
Likely opposition
- LGBTQ+ advocacy and civil-liberties organizations — Restricting gender-identity questions and eliminating non-binary options erases the lived experience of transgender and non-binary individuals and limits their ability to identify accurately in federal systems.
- Medical and public-health associations — Gender-identity data collection is important for understanding health disparities and ensuring appropriate care for all populations.

Should I support this?
Likely helpful for Christian families
From the perspective of Christian parents who prioritize parental authority and traditional understandings of sex and gender, this bill limits federal agencies' ability to collect gender-identity information independently of families and enforces a biological sex binary. However, some Christian families may have members who identify as transgender or non-binary, making the impact personally mixed.
