(4) the term "gender identity" means actual or perceived gender-related characteristics;

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the circular "gender-related characteristics" is defined precisely nowhere in the bill, either?

Edit: yep, of course it isn't, nor is "gender" itself, which is particularly concerning, since

(2) Offenses involving actual or perceived religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.-

(A) In general.-Whoever, whether or not acting under color of law, in any circumstance described in subparagraph (B) or paragraph (3), willfully causes bodily injury to any person or, through the use of fire, a firearm, a dangerous weapon, or an explosive or incendiary device, attempts to cause bodily injury to any person, because of the actual or perceived religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability of any person-

omits any mention of 'sex' entirely. I guess it's not a hate crime if you murder someone based on their sex, but it is if based on their gender?

What a clown world, smh
