HHS Declares ‘There Are Only Two Sexes’ in Major Policy Shift, Answers What a ‘Woman’ Is

After years of nationwide debate, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) set the record straight on Wednesday, reaffirming a binary definition of sex, aligning with an executive order signed by President Trump on his first day in office.

The updated guidance states that “there are only two sexes, female and male,” based on the biological function of producing eggs or sperm. It further clarifies that an individual’s sex is “determined genetically at conception” and is “unchangeable and determined by objective biology,” as reported by The Post Millennial.
