Alabama lawmakers on Wednesday advanced legislation that would define who is recognized as female and male under state law.

The House Health Committee voted along party lines to approve the “What is a Woman Act” and send the legislation to the full House of Representatives. The bill is similar to measures introduced in several GOP-controlled states and would base the definitions off a person’s reproductive systems.

“Activists have sought to redefine these words and separate sex from biology,” Dubose said when she introduced the bill last week. The bill drew heavy opposition during a public hearing last week where several transgender women called the bill an attack on their assistance.
