Defines 'man' and 'woman' in state law.

This bill adds definitions of biological sex and gender terms to South Dakota's statutory definitions section. It defines 'male' and 'female' based on reproductive systems, defines 'man' as adult human male and 'woman' as adult human female, adds definitions for 'boy,' 'girl,' 'father,' 'mother,' and defines 'sex' as biological sex (either male or female). The bill also prohibits state funding for anything contrary to these definitions.
