AUSTIN — Amid an escalating statewide fight over children’s biological identities, state government officials are disregarding biological reality on public birth documents.

In 2019, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s state health department quietly revised the public “Birth Worksheet for Child’s Birth Certificate”—an informational form citizens fill out when their baby is born.

The form now lists three biological sex options for the newborn child’s birth certificate: “male,” “female,” or “?”.

Ironically, the form’s opening paragraph contradicts the rest of the document by mentioning only two sexes.

“The information you provide on this worksheet is used to create your child’s birth certificate. The birth certificate is a legal document that your child will use throughout his/her life to prove your child’s age, citizenship, and parentage,” the form reads.

Abbott’s health department bungling the biological reality of two sexes comes as the Republican-controlled state Legislature has also denied protections for the biological identities of Texas children.
