Texas AG says courts can’t force state agencies to update trans people’s IDs
NBC News ^ | 3/14/25 | Jo Yurcaba

Posted on 03/16/2025 9:39:02 AM PDT by DallasBiff

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton declared Friday that state court orders to change the sex markers on Texas birth certificates, driver’s licenses and other state-issued IDs are no longer valid.

State agencies have already prohibited transgender people from changing the sex markers on their birth certificates and driver’s licenses through internal policy changes last year. Paxton’s new directive requires them to go further and revert back any sex marker changes that were the result of court orders. The directive is the first of its kind nationwide and marks yet another escalation in the state’s nearly decadelong effort to restrict the rights of trans people.

"There are only two sexes, and that is determined not by feelings or ‘gender theory’ but by biology at conception,” Paxton said in a statement Friday. “Radical left-wing judges do not have jurisdiction to order agencies to violate the law nor do they have the authority to overrule reality. In Texas, we will follow common sense and restore any documents that were wrongfully changed to be consistent with biology.”

Paxton will make a great US senator in 2026, but Cornyn is addicted to the swamp gravy train and there are still many rinos in Texas.

It’s time for America to stop playing these fag and lesbo games. People’s identities are so ****ed up that they don’t even know what sex their mangy ass is anymore. Time to grow up people. The party games are over.

There’s that misused word “rights” again. There is no “right” or even the actual possibility of changing one’s sex.

I’m pleased to see people refusing to give in to the argument that a persons sex can be anything other than what their birth certificate indicates.

Dear God, let it be. I hope his replacement AG has as much righteous tenacity.

Not sure this is a case of a rogue court. It looks like the court may be correctly applying state law. Maybe. Can’t tell for sure but gen after reading the full article.

Executive orders will never be as effective as legislative law. Unfortunately even in conservative states the perverts have incredible leverage over the governors and state legislators. Ohio’s gov DeWhine vetoed a law keeping men out of women’s sports. But the legislature eventually overrode him.

Since the Korean War there has been a gradual blurring of the separation of powers between the 3 branches.

The biggest change has been the emergence of the bureaucracy branch which seems to have rights and powers imagined into the Constitution.

But sine the Korean War, the Warren court, and courts in general, have increased their own power to be the Legislative and Executive Branch.

Can current events be seen in the context of that historical reality?

Sex can not be assigned, only acknowledged.

‘Gender’ only applies to words, NOT people.

“Depends on the laws of that given state.”

But ultimately it is a fact of natural law. Scientists, physicians, health care workers and.... (shocker!!) Even nature itself understands the differences in question.

Radical absurdity should not codify, confuse, and distort the natural differences regarding naturally assigned genetic markers regarding the natural sex of individual persons.
