A week after passing their new Congressional map that eliminates unconstitutional district lines, the Texas legislature has passed a number of important bills, including SB 8 which protects women’s spaces.
Gender ideology activists deny the truth about biology. This has led to policies allowing men into women’s spaces — bathrooms, locker rooms, shelters, and other sex-segregated areas — that violate privacy and endangers the safety of women and girls where they are at their most vulnerable. From small towns to big cities, Americans are sounding the alarm.
Thankfully, SB 8 offers a straightforward solution: require private spaces owned or controlled by political subdivisions or state agencies to be based on a person’s biological sex.
The benefits of the strong legal framework in the bill include:
-
Protecting the safety and privacy of restrooms, locker and dorm rooms, prisons, and shelters for women, especially those who have been victims of sexual assault.
-
Codifying the objective differences between male and female in law.
The House has passed SB 8, which returns to the Senate next week for concurrence and to be sent to Governor Greg Abbott’s desk. We will continue to keep you updated on the Texas Special Session!
