It’s been dubbed Utah’s “bathroom bill,” but House Bill 257 is entitled “sex-based designations for privacy, anti-bullying and women’s opportunities.”. Now that Gov. Spencer Cox signed the controversial bill Jan. 30, “male” and “female” are defined in Utah law for the first time. Critics say the bill’s definitions, under which women are ova producers and men are ova fertilizers, deny the existence of transgender and nonbinary people.
