Equality Texas: In today's hearing, an #SB8 supporter argued that a young girl shouldn't have to undress in front of a "biological male." One fatal flaw? This bill would enable exactly that scenario. It creates a system where any person can be challenged and forced to "prove" their sex to a stranger. #TxLege

A key takeaway from the #SB8 hearing: The bill creates a private cause of action, meaning a business that fails to police its bathrooms to the state's standard (i.e., doesn't challenge someone whose gender expression doesn't match their birth sex) can be sued for massive penalties. #TxLege

The profound injustice of #SB8: it would deny transgender Texans access to public facilities like restrooms, changing areas, and hospitals—spaces that their tax dollars pay for and maintain. It's a brutal and invasive form of taxation without representation or equal access. #TxLege
