Nebraska's governor has signed an executive order directing state agencies to use narrow definitions of a person's sex. Republican Gov.

Nebraska’s Republican Gov. Jim Pillen on Wednesday signed an executive order strictly defining a person’s sex.

The order notably does not use the term “transgender,” although it appears directed at limiting transgender access to certain public spaces. It orders state agencies to define “female” and “male” as a person’s sex assigned at birth.

“It is common sense that men do not belong in women’s only spaces,” Pillen said in a statement. “As Governor, it is my duty to protect our kids and women’s athletics, which means providing single-sex spaces for women’s sports, bathrooms, and changing rooms.”

      …there is no longer male and female, for all of you are one…

      • Galatians 3:28

      …when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, […] then you will enter [the kingdom].

      • Gospel of Thomas 22

      Victory? Meh, debatable.

        Two can play at that game.

        In like manner also, those women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shame faceless and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; but (which become women professing godliness) with good works. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

        1 Timothy 2:9-15

        the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man

        1 Corinthians 11:3

        Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

        Colossians 3:18

        Sure sounds like men and women are very different in Christianity to me.

      Fun fact: every US president has been Christian.

      The idea that the US is not a nation run by Christians is just wrong.
