Texas AG Demanded List Of Transgender Residents

The Washington Post reports:

Employees at the Texas Department of Public Safety in June received a sweeping request from Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office: to compile a list of individuals who had changed their gender on their Texas driver’s license and other department records during the past two years.

“We won’t need DL/ID numbers at first but may need to have them later if we are required to manually look up documents.” Public records obtained by The Post do not indicate why the attorney general’s office sought the driver’s license information.
