WASHINGTON — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Wednesday he is backing the “Women’s Bill of Rights,” a document being pushed by Republicans that calls for, among other things, a person’s sex to be defined under state and federal law as “his or her biological sex (either male or female) at birth.”
The GOP elected officials and candidates promoting the document say “gender ideologues” are trying to redefine womanhood.
“The radical left has long had trouble with telling the truth,” Paxton said in a press release. “They’ve tried to redefine the word ‘recession,’ revise American history, paint concerned parents as ‘domestic terrorists,’ and now they want to fundamentally change what it means to be a woman.”
