Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched a lawsuit against the Biden administration for mandating that employers make specific accommodations for transgender persons such as requiring preferred pronoun usage, uniforms or dress code, and allowing males who say they are females access to women's only spaces such as bathrooms, locker rooms, and lactation facilities. These new requirements come as part of the administration's update to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, conflating gender identity with biological sex.
"Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, and other officials in the Biden Administration to stop an unlawful attempt to redefine federal law through agency guidance," Paxton's office said.
