Wyoming backs separate accommodations by sex
The legislature states that sex-based laws face intermediate constitutional review: they must be closely tied to important government goals. That standard bars unfair discrimination against similarly situated males and females. Despite contrary laws, the act declares sex-separated accommodations substantially related to protecting health, safety and privacy where those concerns apply. Listed settings include athletics, prisons, other detention facilities, domestic violence shelters, rape crisis centers, locker rooms and restrooms. The law also covers other safety or privacy settings, but does not require every listed place to create separate accommodations.
Wyoming defines legal sex at birth
Wyoming laws, rules and regulations define sex as male or female at birth. Female and male mean having a reproductive system that produces, transports and uses eggs or sperm, respectively, at some point. These definitions account for birth conditions or disruptions that prevent those functions. Woman and girl mean human females; man and boy mean human males. Mother means a female parent, and father means a male parent. The law says equality does not mean being identical, and separate accommodations are not automatically unequal. People born with medically recognized disorders or differences in sex development keep protections and accommodations under applicable law. The act took effect immediately when it became law.
Wyoming government data must use birth sex
Covered Wyoming schools and government bodies must classify people as male or female based on sex at birth when recording sex. This applies when they collect vital statistics for anti-discrimination compliance or accurate public health, crime, economic or other data. Covered bodies include school districts, public schools, state agencies, departments, offices and other political subdivisions. The law does not require every data collection to include sex, and it provides no individual payment.
