"There Are Two Genders"

Illinois State Senator Andrew Chesney (R-Freeport) rose to speak out against House Bill 2350 during floor debate in the Illinois Senate. This woke proposal seeks to amend the Illinois Insurance Code to remove gendered terms in sections that relate to pap smears and prostate exams, by replacing references to ‘men’ and ‘women’ with “individuals.”

“This bill is outrageous. It is biologically impossible for a female to receive a prostate exam and it is equally impossible for a male to receive a pap smear,” continued Chesney. “At a time when people are leaving our state in droves, I can’t believe these are the priority bills the Democrats are bringing forward.”

Illinois Democrats in the General Assembly passed this bill and Governor JB Pritzker is expected to sign it into law.
