Gov. Greg Abbott sent a letter to all Texas state agency heads reiterating that the State of Texas recognizes only male and female as legitimate genders, mirroring language declared in one of President Donald Trump’s executive orders (EO).
“This office has consistently reiterated a simple truth: The State of Texas recognizes only two sexes — male and female — and sex discrimination consists in treating a member of one sex less favorably than the other, absent some pertinent difference,” Abbott began his letter.
