Subject: RE: Idaho Vital Statistics Integrity Act - short window for comments - by Friday, January 24
All—
I would strongly recommend that the phrase “separate but equalâ€​ not appear anywhere in any public or legislative documents.
My recommended alternative language:
“biological distinctions between male and female are a matter of scientific fact and biological sex is an objectively defined category which has obvious, immutable, and distinguishable characteristicsâ€​
Or something similar.
Although it doesn’t appear here, I would also say for future reference that we shouldn’t use the phrase “sex-segregatedâ€​ when referring to spaces dedicated to one sex or the other. “Sex
specificâ€​ usually works.
I don’t think I need to outline the reasons that we should avoid the above phrases.
Thanks for all your work on this crucial issues!
