    The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.

      “Filed last week by Republican state Rep. Tom Oliverson” — district 130, looks like NW edge of Houston area.

        Fortunately a bill like this is unlikely to ever be referred out of committee. The Texas House is where legislation goes to die. They haven’t even passed a budget yet, or figured out what they’re doing with school vouchers, both of which must be passed before they can even start considering anything else
