"Nebraska Governor Defines Biological Sex in Landmark Executive Order"

Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen has signed an executive order establishing a "Women's Bill of Rights" that defines females and males based on biological sex assigned at birth. The order aims to clarify the definitions of boy, girl, man, and woman and applies to various facilities, including prisons, schools, domestic violence shelters, and restrooms. The governor argues that the order is necessary to protect single-sex spaces and women's athletics. However, critics, including State Sen. Megan Hunt, argue that the order puts transgender Nebraskans at risk and jeopardizes federal funding.
