More reps talking in opposition. A rep talks about her son, whose long hair gets him misgendered consistently. "SB 8 turns that into law."

We're on hour 5 of this vote, btw.

Someone stands in the gallery: SHAME SHAME SHAME ON YOU MOTHERFUCKERS SHAME

Rep in opposition to the bill: What if your future granddaughter is trans? Rep in support: She won't be.

Heartless monster.

Another protestor stands. SHAME SHAME ON YOU. They're clearing the gallery. It's been real, y'all.

The rhetoric was getting real heated y'all. I'm headed to somewhere i can watch the proceedings on TV.

FYI that amendment by Toth might mean the bill goes back to the Senate. bsky.app/profile/kiss...

WELL SB 8 PASSED THE TEXAS HOUSE TO THE THIRD READING What's next: has to pass once more through the house tonight, then to the Senate for concurrence.

Thank you for covering some of the internal dynamics. I hope you got food!

Headed to dinner now!!

SB 8 passed the 3rd reading late last night. TENT was there the whole time. Next step is back to the Senate for concurrence, then on to the governor. If you haven't yet, follow TENT on socials (not on here) and donate to their incredible work in Texas. Please. www.transtexas.org

Texas Republican representatives are trash. They have to go through a spine removal machine on the 1st day.

This is just absolutely insane... I can't imagine being that hateful.

That's dangerous. So dangerous. And they don't care.

who was that directed at because i agree the gop is constantly guilty of freak behavior

Definitely the proponents of the bill
