On June 13, 2025, Tom Oliverson voiced strong criticism of the safety of gender-affirming care, stating: “Good grief!!! This is the biggest black box of black box warnings I have ever seen. The folks who testify that gender-affirming care is totally safe are idiots! @US_FDA #txlege”. His remarks indicate skepticism towards claims about the safety of such medical treatments.
The following day, on June 14, 2025, he expressed sorrow over a tragic event involving a fellow lawmaker from Minnesota.

There is no justification for such a vile and cowardly act, period. Prayers of comfort for the families”. This tweet underscores his condemnation of violence and empathy towards the affected families.
Later on June 14, Oliverson shared an experience from his travels: “Nothing quite like getting off an overseas flight, getting randomly selected for an Agriculture inspection, and then having the fire alarm go off in the baggage claim area continuously for the last 45 min, grinding everything to a halt. #txlege”. His account highlights frustrations encountered during travel disruptions.
