The Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 42, introduced by Hughes and Hinojosa, asserts that human beings are inherently born as either male or female, emphasizing that this biological identity is unchangeable. The resolution criticizes ideologies that challenge this fundamental truth, claiming that such narratives undermine women's rights and protections. It highlights concerns over men self-identifying as women and accessing spaces meant for women, such as shelters and bathrooms, which the resolution argues is a misrepresentation of sex as an immutable characteristic.
The resolution calls for the State of Texas to officially recognize only two sexes—male and female—and to adopt policies that defend women's rights by using precise language that reflects this biological distinction. It aims to reinforce the notion that women are biologically female and men are biologically male, positioning the state against what it perceives as baseless attacks on the definition of sex.
