2025S0234-1 03/13/25 By: Hughes S.C.R. No. 42 CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 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.
