"Nebraska Gov. Pillen's Executive Order Affirms Traditional Biological Definitions of Male and Female"

Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen has signed an executive order establishing a women's bill of rights, which defines a person's biological sex at birth and provides guidelines for reporting data. While the order does not explicitly ban transgender individuals from using the bathroom of their choice, it establishes a clear definition for places like schools, shelters, and prisons. The executive order will expire once a state law governing the participation of biological males in female athletics is in effect. Some senators support the order, citing concerns about fairness in sports, while others criticize it as divisive and disappointing. Governor Pillen is the second U.S. governor to sign such an order, following Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt.
