Bill > SCR42

This resolution asserts that the State of Texas will adopt a policy recognizing only two biological sexes: male and female, which the document describes as an "immutable and innate" characteristic. The resolution argues against what it calls "ideologues" who challenge this binary view of sex, suggesting that attempts to define sex differently are undermining women's rights and protections. Specifically, the resolution claims that alternative gender identifications have allowed "men to self-identify as women" and enter spaces traditionally reserved for women, such as shelters and bathrooms. The Texas Legislature resolves to defend women's rights by using "clear and accurate language" that explicitly defines women as biologically female and men as biologically male, effectively rejecting broader interpretations of gender identity and expression. The resolution appears to be a political statement aimed at establishing a strict, biological definition of sex in state policy.
