Sid Miller, Commissioner of Agriculture of Texas, speaks during the third and final day of this year’s Republican Party of Texas Convention Saturday, June 18, 2022, held at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, TX.A memo sent to Texas Department of Agriculture employees last week told employees at the department to dress"in a manner consistent with their biological gender." Employees who don't follow the new rules could be disciplined or fired, according to the memo.

The Observer also quoted an unnamed Department of Agriculture employee, who said they were worried that the new rule would be used to target transgender or gender-nonconforming workers. A person's ability to dress in the way they want can be affirming and be positive for mental health, Gooch said. He called the policy vague and said it could cause people to come to work in fear that they aren't following arbitrary rules.
