According to Upon the Square, Texas has just issued a new, discriminatory gender policy:
G. Clay Smith
- A biological woman (meaning an individual who was assigned female at birth) cannot be a Mason.
- A transgender man (meaning an individual who was assigned female at birth whose gender identity or gender expression is now male) cannot be a Mason.
- A transgender woman (meaning an individual who was assigned male at birth whose gender identity or gender expression is now female) cannot be made a Mason nor remain a Mason.

We have updated our data tables on discrimination by jurisdiction to reflect this policy.
