Now you may have to check your birth certificate before going to the bathroom in Texas

Try to remember your birth gender.

The media is going to make a big deal out of a proposed law in Texas that would, just like in North Carolina, direct transgender people to the bathroom of their “biological sex.” The media should absolutely report on institutional discrimination and the controversial law should be a storyline in the marathon run-up to Super Bowl LI in Houston on Feb. 5.

But the Texas law, Senate Bill 6, is only a buzzworthy backdrop to the biggest sports event in the world because of its similarities to North Carolina’s House Bill 2, which weakened anti-discrimination protections in that state for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people.

And the only reason the sports world cared much about HB2 is because, in protest of the law, the NBA pulled the All-Star Game out of Charlotte and the NCAA yanked all of its championship events out of the state, including the first two rounds of the March Madness tournament.

With a similar law introduced in Texas, calls to pull the Super Bowl out of that state are sure to follow. That’s not going to happen. Not a month before The Big Game.

    Frankly, I can’t think of any reason for going to Texas unless you need to take a serious crap.

      years ago there was a mayor of a city that wanted all workers of the city to provide random drug test (pee in the jar). the local college kids started sending her their samples until she got angry and threatened to start suing them and have them arrested for all sorts of stuff.

      then, she ran successfully for congress a number of times before retiring after she had told POTUS GW “not just no but hell no” on the trillion dollar wall street bailout before returning home, seeing the “fear ” in the faces of her constituents and returning to vote for the wall street bailout. (some of the biggest takers will soon be working in the new government of trump – let’s just hope their compensation packages don’t exceed that of the basic military recruit this time?!).

      anyway, every time these dumbass ultra religious type lying thieving christian republicans come up with this kind of rubbish, I can’t help but laugh and think ….

      what if?

      triple double dare to the college students in TX to have as much (or more) fun as the college kids of NC back then!!!

    Being Texas, there will be armed guards patrolling restrooms

    Next time I’m in Texas, I’m just going to pee in the street.

      first thought that came to my mind!

      if you gotta go, you gotta go (call of nature sort of thing) but I’d suggest finding a state legislator’s or a fundie baptist minister’s car to duck behind (shows a sense of modesty).

      Better yet…
      Pee on the Alamo..(ozzy style)

        I can guarantee that they will frown on that. They’re SO touchy about it.

      I want the Depends Concession for Texas.

    Sick bastards running the state just want to inspect the genitals and genitalia of young people. Bunch of pedophiles. Lock em up!

    I only have one question…
    Will the short form be accepted?..
    Or will have have to bring the long form along if I need to pee….

    Who are these bathroom monitors going to be?
    Are they really going to have someone stationed at every public restroom checking Birth Gender?..
    Are they going to armed, or have the power to arrest violators?

      ” ‘scuse me, “ma’am”; Bob Johnson, Texas Department of Genitalia…I’d like to ask you to step over here for a minute…”

    If you forgot and left your Birth Certificate at home, does that mean you can’t go Potty????
