“Bathroom Bill” has been a matter of discussion for a long time. An editorial by Alexa Ura, Committee sends Texas "bathroom bill" to full Senate, appeared in the Texas Tribune wants their readers to know about the recent bills that are in the process to be passed. Yet, another disappointing issue demonstrated by our government officials. According to the article, “the legislation would require transgender individuals to use the multi-stall bathrooms and locker rooms in schools and other government buildings that match their “biological sex,” and it would nix local anti-discrimination laws meant to allow transgender residents to use bathrooms that match their gender identity.” What a waste of time, and embarrassing issue to hear. Instead of eliminating the sexual discrimination, the government officials are encouraging everyone to participate in their discrimination decisions.
The author is making an argument about the 7-1 votes by Senate State affairs committee for the “Bathroom Bill” and provides embedded link as an evidence to support the argument. There are other serious issues that need attention from the State officials such as our city schools need good care, veterans need a home, people need a good health care plans. But why our government is trying to solve the problem that never existed? The article also mentions that “proponents of the bill have defended the legislation, saying it will increase privacy and safety and keep men out of women’s bathrooms.” Why someone has to feel insecure from the transgender people? This is just an illegal discrimination and a fundamental misunderstanding of transgender individuals. This bill will do more harm than good if people agree to isolate the transgender community.
I agree with the author that a Bathroom Bill is just an act of discriminating people and their values. It is embarrassing to know the priorities of our Texas government. No matter what kind of bills will be passed, it is our duty to treat everyone equal.
