Texas legislators are attempting for the third time in almost a decade to ban trans people from using restrooms under the guise of protecting women and girls. This is a non-issue pushed to police and harm trans and cis people alike. So, activists staged a sit in to say NO to bathroom bigotry.

Texas trans organizers ain't playin!
When they called, GLM answered. They asked for support on a bathroom sit in, inspired by our action at the U.S. Capitol we took last December, and we came down to throw down.

GLM is on the ground in Texas for today’s hearing of yet another iteration of a bathroom bill SB 8.

We’re here to say BAN BATHROOM BIGOTRY. This is not about protection, but about gender policing which harms cis and trans people alike.
