Source Summary

On March 13, 2017, the TransAdvocate will meet with numerous members of the Texas Legislature –both Democratic and Republican– concerning anti-LGBTQIA bills recently filed during this legislative session. Particularly of concern for both the trans and intersex community are bills designed to force trans and intersex individuals to use public accommodations based upon the sex designated on one’s birth certificate, regardless of transitioned status.

Moreover, their aim is to remove local control and give it to the State.” SB6 is particularly cruel as it takes aim at trans and intersex school children, fineing any school that does not force trans/intersex boys to use the girl’s bathroom and trans/intersex girls to use the boy’s bathroom in excess of $10,000 a day per student.
