Nebraska's governor has signed an executive order directing state agencies to use narrow definitions of a person's sex. Republican Gov.
Nebraska’s Republican Gov. Jim Pillen on Wednesday signed an executive order strictly defining a person’s sex.
The order notably does not use the term “transgender,” although it appears directed at limiting transgender access to certain public spaces. It orders state agencies to define “female” and “male” as a person’s sex assigned at birth.
“It is common sense that men do not belong in women’s only spaces,” Pillen said in a statement. “As Governor, it is my duty to protect our kids and women’s athletics, which means providing single-sex spaces for women’s sports, bathrooms, and changing rooms.”
You're missing the point. If a kid is born and has brown eyes does the doctor "assign" his eye color? As brown? Or does he observe the eye color as brown?
Saying the doctor "assigns" the eye color could mean it's up to the doctor to decide, when it really isn't. The doctor can't look at brown eyes on a newborn and say, "yup I'm going to assign that as blue"
