executive order that defines a person’s gender as based on their biological sex and unable to be changed under state law.Dubbed the “Women’s Bill of Rights,” the order seeks to effectively erase the existence of transgender identity from law, directing all state agencies, boards, and commissions to only recognize a person’s male or female assigned sex at birth for legal and statistical purposes.Under the executive order, state agencies would be barred from recognizing a person — even one who had undergone surgical transition, or one who had had their name and gender legally changed by a court order — according to their gender identity.The order defines a “female” as a “person whose biological reproductive system is developed to produce ova” and a “male” as a “person whose biological reproductive system is developed to fertilize the ova of a female.” The order also defines several gender-specific terms, including “woman,” “girl,” “man,” “boy,” “mother,” and “father.”Pillen has claimed the executive order is needed to ensure that women can succeed and thrive in single-sex activities or spaces and to protect the “safety” and bodily autonomy of women in multi-user public facilities where they have the expectation of privacy.“It is common sense that men do not belong in women’s only spaces,” Pillen said in a statement. “As Governor, it is my duty to protect our kids and women’s athletics, which means providing single-sex spaces for women’s sports, bathrooms, and changing rooms.”Pillen’s order is nearly identical to a similar executive order signed by Oklahoma Republican Gov.

information Токены HANS Sínodo mundial en el Vaticano: lo que hay que saber de esta reunión de la Iglesia católica
Incluso para una Iglesia católica plagada de terminología esotérica que por lo regular es difícil de comprender para quienes no están familiarizados con ella, el Sínodo por una Iglesia Sinodal a celebrarse este mes en el Vaticano ha resultado una autorreferencia de lo más confusa para muchos de los fieles comunes y corrientes. Se trata, en esencia, de un gran taller en el que líderes eclesiales y laicos explorarán cómo trabajar juntos para el bien de la Iglesia. “Estoy consciente de que hablar de un ‘sínodo sobre la sinodalidad’ puede parecer un tanto ininteligible, autorreferencial, demasiado técnico y muy poco interesante para el público en general”, dijo el papa Francisco en agosto.
