89th Legislature Regular Session

Selected quotes

WHEREAS, Human beings are born male or female, with such biological identity being immutable and innate; and

WHEREAS, Even in our great state, ideologues put forth a false narrative that denies this fundamental truth, using lawfare, coercion, and fear to deny women the rights and protections to which they are entitled; and

WHEREAS, Across the country, such falsehoods have allowed men to self-identify as women and enter spaces designed for the protection of women, such as women's shelters and women's bathrooms; and

WHEREAS, Sex is an immutable characteristic that can be readily identified, and attacks on the definition of sex are baseless; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, By the 89th Legislature of the State of Texas, That it is the policy of the state to recognize two sexes, male and female; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That the State of Texas will defend women's rights by using clear and accurate language and policies recognizing that women are biologically female and men are biologically male.
