Texas Lawmakers Head Home Without Vote On Bathroom Bill

By Michelle Casady Law360, Houston (August 16, 2017, 3:22 PM EDT) -- A special legislative session called for by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ended Tuesday without the House passing what opponents — including law firms and Texas Fortune 500 companies — have called an anti-transgender “bathroom bill,” but that doesn't mean the bill's fate has been sealed. The Texas Privacy Act , commonly referred to as the bathroom bill, would have required people to use the restroom, shower or changing facility that corresponds with the sex listed on their birth certificates and not the facility corresponding with their gender identity.

The Transgender Bathroom Debate Has Nothing To Do With Bathrooms

On Monday the Supreme Court announced it was remanding the now- infamous transgender case of Gavin Grimm to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. This comes following President Trump’s decision to reverse the Obama administration ’s guidance pushing public schools to let transgender kids to use bathrooms and other private facilities as the sex they identify with. The media, parents, and the LGBTQ lobby has been up in arms. Amid lawsuits and media blitzes, they claim these children just want to use the bathroom peacefully and quietly. They insist the unisex or separate male and female restrooms students have been using for the last 200 years of public education isn ’t enough and is, in fact, insulting to transgender students .
