It mandates courts and agencies to consider a child's biological sex as a positive factor in welfare proceedings. The act prohibits the refusal to pursue or support certain medical procedures from being considered evidence of abuse or neglect. It also ensures that affirming a child's biological sex is never treated as a negative factor or evidence of unfit parenting.
