Texas would be hit hard by the loss of sports.
Maybe, but don't hold your breath. It is, after all, the land of Perry.

Fair point, but it's also the land of giant football stadiums. I wonder how the people of Texas would react to never having an NCAA championship or Super Bowl in their state again.

Our Senate had better vote the will of the people or find another fucking job.
Screw the "Activists, Executives" and such .
They are NOT running Texas. People may have noticed that Texans do not like be told what to do or not to do.
As for the people of indeterminate final sex go where you are dressed as.
That is what the hermaphrodites have done for well, who knows how long?
See problem solved.

Tyranny of the majority refers to an inherent weakness of direct democracy and majority rule in which the majority of an electorate can place its own interests above, and at the expense of, those in the minority. This results in oppression of minority groups comparable to that of a tyrant or despot.

Texas is one of if not their largest market.
Dixi Chicks didn't fair very well when they shit all over their fans.
Do you think the sports leagues could handle loosing Texas?
It's an inherent weakness of all democracy.
That can and has happened under any sort of rule.

Texas would not be losing the league. Texas would be losing championship games and the revenue they produce.

So you are apathetic about a law that is essentially unenforceable or only enforceable to embarrassing outcomes, and would very potentially cost the state of Texas large swaths of revenue even though it doesn't do what you said it did (bathroom to appearance) and tells Texans what to do?
I'm finding your response a bit confusing.

They could tell it to get fucked and or boycot it.
That is a 2 way street.
Let the NFL/NBA/NHL NASCAR flame Texas for not being pro trans and see what happens. Just like country singers calling them a bunch of dumb hicks, that shit is going to hurt them where it matters most.

Abandonment of rationality: when, as Tocqueville remembered, a decision "which bases its claim to rule upon numbers, not upon rightness or excellence". The use of public consultation, technical consulting bodies, and other similar mechanisms help to improve rationality of decisions before voting on them. Judicial review (e.g. declaration of nullity of the decision) is the typical way after the vote.
Ayn Rand wrote that individual rights are not subject to a public vote, and that the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities and "the smallest minority on earth is the individual".
Regarding recent American politics (specifically initiatives), Donovan et al. argue that:
One of the original concerns about direct democracy is the potential it has to allow a majority of voters to trample the rights of minorities. Many still worry that the process can be used to harm gays and lesbians as well as ethnic, linguistic, and religious minorities. ... Recent scholarly research shows that the initiative process is sometimes prone to produce laws that disadvantage relatively powerless minorities ... State and local ballot initiatives have been used to undo policies – such as school desegregation, protections against job and housing discrimination, and affirmative action – that minorities have secured from legislatures.

LOL!!!
LOL!!!!!
Please tell me exactly what will happen. Do you really think people are going to stop going to or watching Cowboys' games, or UT games? And if by some miracle they do, that only hurts Texas.

Well.
I will break it down.
Every person has to piss and take a dump. Sometimes, several times a day.
Making laws and restrictions will not change that fact. Even the most fundamentalist right wing idiot that ever walked the earth know that.
Most people who want the laws are worried about pedophiles and predators.
With good reason I might add we had a couple of incidents here at out local Target already.
Amend the proposal to make it illegal for anyone to enter one of the aforementioned places with criminal intend in mind and most of the opposition will go away. Otherwise yes...there WILL be trouble.
Many people are armed here and if they think someone is even thinking of harming their kids...or someone else's. God help them if they catch them in the act.

This is a solution in search of a problem.
Virtually nobody in Texas wants the "potty police" bill.
This is simply grandstanding by the Texas legislature and the homophobic governor Greg Abbott, red meat to those knuckledraggers who want to keep "them that ain't like us" in their place.

Laugh all you want, changes nothing.
They quit buying Dixi Chicks albums.
Now THAT is funny.
No it doesn't. That hurt will go well beyond the borders of Texas.
Don't forget Lt. Gov Dan Patrick. He's really the one pushing it.

Agreed, what you said is still hilarious.
Becuase the Dixie Chicks = Dallas Cowboys. Because someone built a monsterous stadium out in Arlington just for Dixie Chick concerts.They quit buying Dixi Chicks albums.
Everything you've said in this thread has been a hoot.
They'll just move championship games to other places who will make lots of money off them. If the people in Texas stop supporting pro teams they'll move to other places too.

Entertainers are entertainers.....they essentially sell the same fucking thing.
Shit all over your fans and you're likely to feel it in the bottom line.
Right.
And loosing one of if not their single largest markets would fuckin' hurt far beyond the borders of Texas, the money exchange is a 2 way street.
The only hoot is that you think otherwise.

I would agree 100% with that, but I also remember when I was a teenager. I never entered the girls' locker room, because it was strictly forbidden but, if I could have gotten away with it, I would have done so just to scope them out. It would have been wrong, but I would have done it anyhow. I expect there are many men and boys now who would do that same thing and claim to actually be girls.
I have nothing against ay LGBT or whatever the letters are now, but I think there should be some restrictions, although I don't know exactly what. But not the info on birth certificates. There aren't really that many TG people anyhow, and maybe they could show some kind of ID from their doctor saying they are genuine.
