Sen. Kolkhorst Claims Bathroom Bill Not About "The Transgender"
This week, State Senator Lois Kolkhorst told the San Antonio Express-News that she's been having conversations with "lots of women" and people "from all walks of life" about her so-called bathroom bill, which explores the deeply divisive issue of who can use what bathroom. But, after claiming that her bill is "not about the transgender," one thing appears to be pretty clear: She must not read Internet comments.
Who can blame her? They are often full of vitriol and accusations of being a stupid liberal or a crazy conservative or vice versa, and, we estimate, 99.7 percent of the time fail to change anyone's mind. Inevitably, conversations about the bathroom bill devolve into conversations about the difference between sex and gender, with one group believing for whatever reason that being transgender is not a real identity and that Senator Kolkhorst's bill supports this, while the other group defends transgender people and explains why Senator Kolkhorst's bill is a waste of time.
But perhaps you don't need to read Internet comments to know it: The bill — which would require all people to use the bathrooms in government buildings, schools and universities corresponding with their biological sex at birth — is definitely about transgender people.
Whether Senator Kolkhorst wants to believe it or not.
