The Texas Senate has passed a controversial bill defining man and woman based strictly on reproductive organs, sending it to the governor for final approval. This legislative move has raised concerns among the LGBTQ community, prompting fears over potential ramifications for transgender individuals. In addition to the gender definition bill, several other measures aimed at regulating biological sex data in state documents and protecting parents who misgender their children are also making their way through the legislature. Advocates for transgender rights express feelings of abandonment as they navigate this intensifying political battle focused on gender identity and expression.
