Olson sponsored the Civil Rights Uniformity Act of 2016 (HR 5812) which would strictly limit the definition of gender to the person’s biological gender assigned at birth for the purposes of interpreting federal civil rights laws, federal administrative agency regulations, and other federal guidance. The proposed legislation would effectively remove those people whose gender identity does not match their biological gender as a protected class, but the bill died in committee. In 2017, Olson reintroduced the bill as the Civil Rights Uniformity Act of 2017 (HR 2796) with language identical to HR 5812, including a reference to “President Barack Obama’s administration” which had, in the bill’s language, “attempted to replace the word ‘sex’ with the phrase ‘gender identity’ for purposes of Federal antidiscrimination law and policy through a series of unilateral executive actions” and further, that “the Obama administration’s actions are an affront to the rule of law, the separation of powers, the will of the people, language, history, safety, privacy, and biological realities.” Olson argued that “only Congress has the constitutional authority to change laws” and that interpreting “sex” to include “gender identity” was not the original or explicit intent of the Civil Rights Act of

1964. Critics noted the effect of stripping federal protections from transgender people would only exacerbate existing discrimination and could lead to “a declaration of an open season for discrimination against transgender people.”
