Iowa lawmakers push to repeal gender identity protections
Iowa Senate leaders advance twin bills to remove gender identity from the Civil Rights Act, defining male and female anew and allowing birth certificates to ignore gender identity, a move praised by Republicans and opposed by Democrats, civil rights groups, and educators. A public hearing is set for 9:30 a.m. in Room 103 at the Capitol as debate looms.
