Yes, the muddled mess of a bill that is the EA is extremely alarming coz it totally redefines sex as

A) sex stereotype (WTF?)

B) certain medical conditions related to pregnancy and childbirth (This gives the impression that only females have a sexed body, and female sex is contingent upon becoming pregnant and having children)

C) sexual orientation or gender identity (This suggests these two are interchangeable rather than totally different and in conflict; and glosses over the fact that gender identity erases sexual orientation as we know it, and is at once homophobic, biphobic and heterophobic)

D) sex characteristics and intersex traits (This enshrines in law the inaccurate term "intersex," and gives the impression that variations in sex characteristics - such as penis and breast size, hirsutism, missing testes or ovaries - make a person somehow more or less of the sex they are. So presumably Lance Armstrong would be less male than a guy who still has both balls. This also fails to make the crucially important distinction between natural and real sex characteristics and artificial ones and the appearance of them obtained by getting cosmetic surgeries, and taking drugs to screw up your natural hormones ).

But to make matters worse, the EA goes on to define "gender identity" as follows, specifically saying it should be given precedence over biological sex:

“(2) GENDER IDENTITY.—The term ‘gender identity’ means the gender-related identity, appearance, mannerisms, or other gender-related characteristics of an individual, regardless of the individual’s designated sex at birth."

This worrying language means that males like Blaire White, Contrapoints, Munroe Bergdorf, Gigi Gorgeous, Bruce Jenner, or even Ru Paul and his crew when dressed in full drag and acting out their fantasies would have more right to use female spaces and services and to participate in female sports than most of us bog-standard girls and women who do not have a "gender identity" and do not spend our lives performing femininity and conforming to regressive sex stereotypes through our "appearance, mannerisms or other gender-related characteristics."

Finally, though this whole bill is built around "gender identity" and the meaning of "gender identity" in turn is dependent on having a clear definition of what the hell "gender" means, nowhere in the EA is "gender" defined. The bill doesn't even attempt to define it!

The EA has to be one of the most poorly-written, confusing, confounding pieces of legislation ever written in the English language. Yet it sailed through the House, 236-173.
