📢Today at the Texas Capitol, hundreds of Texans spoke up and lawmakers plugged their ears! No matter what happens, we won't stop fighting. Trans Texans have always been here and will always be here.

We're hosting a rally in the outdoor rotunda this afternoon following adjournment.

Yes - I misunderstood what you were trying to make at first, because it was not very clear.
We're just as disappointed as anyone else in the toothlessness of Dems that throw trans folks under the bus for cheap political points, so I don't really see your point. Trans rights are our whole thing.
#SB8 testimony in the State Affairs committee just wrapped. The bill was left pending.
You can make online comments on the #SB8 bathroom bill until 5 p.m. Monday, Rep.King says.
Here's the link: comments.house.texas.gov/home?c=c450
I think you have us mixed up with Allred's campaign - we are a nonprofit that works to support LGBTQ+ rights.
Reminder that you are the one who brought up this particular lawmaker :) There are lots of genuinely great allies in #TxLege; we mention a few of them each time we cover these hearings.
Totally agree that both categories of ban are ridiculous, counterproductive and dangerous to trans people's safety and well-being.
Allred and company could help out a lot by showing more courage and conviction in the face of these bills.
