Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-Ark.) signed an executive order that will restore calling a woman a woman in the Arkansas state government.
In the executive order titled “Executive Order to Eliminate Woke, Anti-Women Words from State Government And Respect Women,” Sanders, 41, emphasized, “Women are women.”
“An XX chromosome is an XX chromosome. The science is clear and real. There are things only women can do, like perform the miracle of birth,” she wrote.
Sanders also urged the Arkansas government to “reject language that ignores, undermines, and erases women” and instead “celebrate gender distinctions between men and women—not erase them.”
The former White House press secretary declared that “exclusionary and sexist terms” such as “pregnant people” or “pregnant person,” will be replaced with “pregnant women” or “pregnant mom.” Other terms such as menstruating person” or “menstruating people,” will be replaced with “woman” or “women.”
During the signing on Thursday, Sanders gave a speech surrounded by other women, including state lawmakers, according to Yahoo.
In her speech, she said, “Enough trying to erase women and girls,” and “Enough denying our biological differences from men.”
Additionally, Sanders called out the Arkansas Health Department after they issued a memo about the negative effects various Per- and Poly-fluoroalkyl (PFAS) substances can have on “pregnant people.”
Sanders posted a photo from the signing on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“The Left is using nonsense words like “pregnant people” to erase women and girls – and more importantly, our voices and our experiences. We just banned those words from Arkansas state government,” she wrote in the caption.

She added, “Biology is real. Chromosomes are real. Only women can give birth.”
In February, Sanders posted a tweet slamming President Joe Biden for being “the first man to surrender his presidency to a woke mob that can’t tell you what a woman is.”
“Everyday we are told that we must partake in their rituals, salute their flags, and worship their false idols. It’s crazy, and it’s wrong,” she wrote.
