A Texas state agency is being criticized for implementing transphobic policy after a dress code instructed employees to dress according to their 'biological gender.'
Miller said his office had complaints about gender issues that led to this specific part of the policy, according to Spectrum.
“When a man comes dressed in drag, or vice versa, it’s very disruptive, it’s not professional," Miller said."We want you to come looking like you’re professional and representing.
“Are women no longer allowed to wear suits? Can men wear necklaces?” Martinez said. “While this policy was clearly designed to target transgender employees, it will have a negative impact on everyone. Any policy that is designed to target a specific group degrades the whole department. Texans deserve better.”
Miller's office pointed to his Spectrum News interview when asked for comment by NBC News, but Miller himself"Dressing professionally and respectfully is about creating an appropriate and comfortable work environment for EVERYONE," the tweet said."This is common sense and common courtesy." The dress code comes amid continued efforts by Texas lawmakers and officials to place restrictions on transgender and queer people in the state.
