SB 1999 – Protects speech on biological sex

SB 1999 ensures that public employees and students in Texas cannot be punished for using language that aligns with a person’s biological sex. It protects freedom of speech and religious expression for educators, public workers, and students. This bill helps limit government overreach into personal speech. By affirming a clear and biologically grounded standard for language in public settings, the bill provides clarity for school districts and state agencies. It respects constitutional freedoms without imposing new mandates or expanding government power. Additionally, it avoids the imposition of ideological conformity in taxpayer-funded environments.
