As you know, I drove up to the Capitol to testify against a bill that would enshrine Littleton vs. Prange case law into Texas legislative law and strip away the section of current State law in allows a marriage license to be issued to trans people. Watch the video here and hear for yourself the legislative intent behind this bill.
The legislative intent of Senate Bill 723 explicitly states that stripping away trans-positive law is appropriate due to Littleton case law which states that whatever sex the doctor put on your birth certificate is what you are forever and ever and can never ever be changed. In other words, if the doctor wrote “male” on your birth certificate, you’re male and if the doctor wrote “female” on your birth certificate, you’re female
… no matter what.
Passage of this bill would enshrine Littleton case law logic into State Law. If you want to see that come to pass here in Texas, you don’t have to do anything. If, on the other hand, the idea of having the State strip away your gender is as repugnant to you as it is to me, then you need to act… TODAY.
The bill (SB 723) won’t pass unless Democrats vote for it. The author of this anti-trans bill (Sen. Williams – R) has put SB 723 on the intent calendar for this coming Monday. That means he thinks he’s got at least one of the Democratic Senators votes and he wants to move this bill through the Senate ASAP.
