Texas Policy Research Priority #1: TPR Vote Recommendation ENDORSED
SCR 42 asserts that the State of Texas recognizes only two biological sexes - male and female. It declares that sex is immutable and criticizes policies that allow individuals to self-identify as a gender different from their biological sex. The resolution also commits Texas to policies that explicitly define men as biologically male and women as biologically female.
