Restoring Biological Truth to the Workplace Act

Key Points

• This bill, introduced by Representative Steube, would change federal law to protect employees who express the belief that sex is biological and binary (male and female). It would prevent companies from firing or disciplining workers for these views, whether they share them at the office or on their own time.
• The proposal specifically covers speech, writing, and the use of pronouns. This means an employer could not punish a worker for using pronouns that match a person's biological sex instead of their preferred gender identity.
• It also protects workers who want to use single-sex bathrooms, locker rooms, or changing areas. Employers would be prohibited from taking any negative action against an employee for requesting or using a space designated for their biological sex.
• Companies would no longer be able to argue that punishing a worker for these expressions was a necessary part of doing business. This would make it easier for employees to win legal cases if they feel they were treated unfairly for their beliefs about sex.
