Rep. Steube Partners with Sen. Banks to Protect Biological Reality at Work
WASHINGTON — U.S. Representative Greg Steube (R-Fla.) joined with Senator Jim Banks (R-Ind.) today in introducing the Restoring Biological Truth to the Workplace Act. This bill reinforces President Trump’s E.O. 14168, Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government, by protecting Americans from workplace discrimination and retaliation for affirming there are two genders. The Restoring Biological Truth to the Workplace Act is cosponsored by Representatives Barry Moore and Nancy Mace.
“Americans should never be punished for saying there are only two genders: male and female,” said Rep. Steube. “Acknowledging reality is not grounds for termination. My bill protects workers from retaliation for refusing to conform with radical gender ideology. I am grateful to partner with Senator Banks to make sure that no American is fired, demoted, or silenced for standing up for truth.”
The Restoring Biological Truth to the Workplace Act is the House companion to legislation introduced by U.S. Senator Jim Banks this Congress.
“This bill is about protecting common sense,” said Senator Banks. “Americans shouldn’t fear losing their jobs simply for acknowledging the basic reality of biological sex.”
Background:
The bill strengthens employee protections under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act by making clear that employers cannot punish or retaliate against employees who express the view that there are only two sexes or who use workplace facilities consistent with their biological sex.
The legislation affirms:
- The right of employees to state that individuals are biologically male or female, both on and off the job;
- The right to use restrooms, changing rooms, and other sex-specific spaces based on biological sex;
- That employers are prohibited from retaliating against employees who refuse to affirm or participate in gender ideology policies;
- That employer pretexts to discipline such employees will not be tolerated under federal civil rights law.
Rep. Steube previously introduced the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act and continues to lead on legislation defending biological reality and standing up to leftist gender extremism.
