Yes, good point about all the bills the House passes that never pass the Senate. Most of the bills the House passes are never even voted on in the Senate, in fact.

But the point I was making was about the language. It's entirely possible to write legislation and policies concerning sex-specific issues such as pregnancy without using the words women, mother, mother-to-be by using such terms as "qualified employee" or "affected individuals." And as this bill shows, that's what's customarily done nowadays.

Similarly, laws and regulations for, say, such matters as PPE in sports, workplaces & warfare can avoid the whole issue of using terms that some genderists consider too "gendered" to bear by focusing not on the sex of the persons involved, but on the body parts requiring/getting protection. Such as:

League safety regulations require that athletes with testicles and/or penises be equipped with, and always wear, cups designed to protect those organs during any sports activity that involves, or might involve contact, both in practice and competition.

Department regulations require that all police/military officers are to be fitted with, and provided, safety vests designed and sized to suit their bodies, and to take into account whether they have breasts or flat chests - and to accommodate the specific size, shape and other characteristics of officers' breasts.

All health care personnel are to be provided with uniforms, footwear and PPE designed for the specific size and shape of their bodies and which are sufficiently well-fitted to provide them with proper protection and which will not create added vulnerabillties or hazards.

This kind of language is specific to body parts - and allows for the fact that most women have smaller stature, and usually smaller, differently shaped bodies, faces, heads, hands & feet, heads and faces than men, which traditionally have been ignored when it comes to safety equipment. Yet this kind of lingo does not reduce the people involved to nothing but body parts or biological processes the way offensive terms meant to dehumanize girls & women like "uterus havers," "cervix owners" and "menstruators" do. Coz the people themselves are still called terms that recognize they are people: qualified employees... athletes .. police/military officers... health care personnel.
