If this bill passes, "any trans person performing" in Texas means no minors can enter the room when we are:
▫️on a panel at a con
▫️in a cosplay contest
▫️performing karaoke/lip sync
▫️basically doing ANYTHING on stage in public
This is FUCKED. UP.

What do you think "otherwise performs in front of an audience" will eventually mean? Why else would they leave that so broad, so vague?

Obviously this includes musicians.
Does it include showing a movie with a trans actor or character in it?
Does it include @shakespearedal?
Does it include #cosplay??
Trans teachers? Museum workers on tours? Librarians? PUBLIC SPEAKERS???
It's DELIBERATELY vague for a REASON.

How many CIS PEOPLE will this fuck with?!
More masculine appearing women, more feminine appearing men?
Who gets to decide what our gender "identity markers at birth" are in a public setting? Will we wear little triangles?

It’s their endgame.
A skilled litigator can twist “performance” coupled with “any commercial enterprise” into… almost anything.
🏳️⚧️ #Transgender athletes, actors, comedians, wrestlers, politicians, cosplayers, public speakers, even TEACHERS will be targeted.

This will impact SO MANY #trans folk and make us entirely unemployable.
