Texas attorney general Ken Paxton has reportedly asked for a list of everyone who changed their sex on state documents in the past two years. Why? Paxton's office hasn't said. When asked for docs, they said none exist.
I'm sure it's no big deal. They just want a list of transgender people in Texas so they can send them milk and cookies.

@evacide and if any of Paxton's fellow travelers are smugly thinking this won't affect them, they should check their driver's licenses. Mine had me listed as F (I'm a cis M) for about ten years. I never even noticed it until a few years ago.
I wouldn't wish state persecution on anyone, but it gives me a cold little flicker of amusement to imagine one of Paxton's bigoted supporters finding himself the target of the Texas Department of Dirty Tricks because some DMV clerk hit the wrong key.
