Texas Bill Would Make Identifying as Transgender a Crime
recent directive from Secretary of State Marco Rubio that would permanently ban transgender athletes from entering the United States for athletic competitions if they have identity documents with a gender marker that does not align with their assigned sex at birth.It also aligns with an executive order from President Donald Trump declaring that the federal government will only recognize two sexes — male and female — based on a person’s assigned sex at birth.It comes on the heels of a bill introduced last year that banned transgender residents from changing the gender marker on their drivers licenses or birth certificates to align with their gender identity.This year, Republican lawmakers have introduced a separate bill to ban gender-affirming care for all individuals, including adults, after successfully passing a ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth two years ago.If passed, the bill could prove problematic for transgender individuals who have had some of their identity documents changed to reflect their gender identity.Moreover, regarding private employers, anybody seeking to have their gender identity recognized at work could be prosecuted under the law. Callie Butcher, the founder of Butcher Legal Group, a Dallas law firm that serves the LGBTQ community, told the Houston Chronicle that while she doesn’t believe Oliverson’s bill will pass, it is consistent with other bills introduced in Texas seeking to erase transgender identity and restrict freedom of expression.

Texas A&M University Bans Drag On All 11 Campuses
resolution states that the Board of Regents finds that “it is inconsistent” with the university’s core values, including respect for others, to allow special event venues on the university’s campuses to host drag shows “that involve biological males dressing in women’s clothing, wearing exaggerated female make up and/or exaggerated prosthetics meant to parody the female body type, and that are: open to the public; involve sexualized, vulgar or lewd conduct; and involve conduct that demeans women.”The resolution claims that drag shows are likely to “create or contribute to a hostile environment for women” in violation of Title IX’s prohibitions on sex-based discrimination and involve “the mockery or objectification of women.”The resolution cites President Donald Trump’s executive order recognizing only two sexes, based on biology, which prohibits federal funds from being used to “promote gender ideology,” and a directive from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordering state agencies to comply with Trump’s order.It also asserts that allowing drag shows to take place on university campuses violates that order.The resolution, adopted unanimously by the board, will likely spark a First Amendment fight over whether the ban on drag shows infringes on students’ free speech and freedom of expression.Historically, Texas A&M University at Corpus Christi and East Texas A&M University have hosted drag shows, with the university’s main College Station campus hosting “Draggieland,” an award-winning drag event that has been held annually.By passing the resolution, this year’s Draggieland event, initially scheduled for March 27 at the Rudder Theatre in College Station, is now imperiled.
