OK, you’re right.

Put pictures of Male or Female Genitalia on the doors instead. Then again, they might take that as an invitation.

Apple, Microsoft Corp., Facebook, IBM, Amazon and Dell Technologies are all little mom & pop companies with no influence in Austin.

[[Texas can afford to lose any revenue they may lose to the gay mafia and transgender lunatics.

Texans cannot afford to let Texas become even more Californicated than it already is.

One more example of Californians who fled their state after they fouled their nest trying to foul their new nests.

Look at what has happened to once great places like Washington and Oregon and is now happening to Colorado, Arizona and Nevada and is in the process of transforming them into leftist sewers like California .]]

They come to Florida and do the same darn thing .

This is Zero pushing these biz against Texas, who was at war with the United States of America for 8 long years.

Simple solution: until a business build the new ‘any/everybody’ restrooms, it’s penis-in-that-one, non-penis in that one. Buil the trannie restroom outside with the door having a Western exposure and no insulation and faulty A/C ducts.

If they do and it seems they are, it’s up to you fight back and to align yourself with those who boycott these companies.

Real simple.

I wonder how many Israeli upstarts in the 14 CEOs’ industries could be incentivized here to build and take as much market share as possible ASAP?

You do realize this is war on us again?

I have a Business degree. Which one do I use? Not sure what the Xs are for, but I assume that the Y symbolizes the place two legs come together and no penis is present, so I guess that’s the women’s bathroom. /s

I'm really looking forward to the big liability law suit against a big corp like Target, Apple or Microsoft or an NFL or NBA team after some poor innocent lady or young girl is in the wrong place at the wrong time and gets abducted or seriously assaulted by a “transgender” predator in a rest room.

I hope that the award is in the hundreds of millions of bucks.

This tranny stuff is so insane and the basic privacy and safety issues so clear that the mind boggles at how far people have let this issue become defacto law of the land enforced with an iron rod by left wing racists.

“Both the NFL and NBA have put Texas on notice that the state will be overlooked for future big events”

Reminds me of an old joke.

Old guy walks up to a young girl and says, “would you sleep with me for a million bucks?”

She thinks about it for a second and says, “sure.”

Then he says, “well, how about for $25?”

She shoots back, “heck no, what kind a girl do you think I am?”

He replies, “we we’ve already established that, now we’re just haggling over price.”

The NFL, NBA, and others have already established what they are - now it’s just haggling over price.

“the heads of Apple, Microsoft Corp., Facebook, IBM, Amazon and Dell Technologies, sent Abbott a letter concerning Texas’ “bathroom bill” proposal that targets transgender people.”

In other words, that doesn’t “target” non-perverts.

Stay stong, Texas. There are more of us than there are of the LBTGQXYZers.

Not one of these stories get what this law does right. It states that publicly owned sex -exclusive facilities areas should be used per biological sex. It also allows private businesses to decide if they want men to use their women’s private areas. Trump and Target can let all the men they want use their women’s bathrooms if this passes.

“A political subdivision may not adopt or enforce an order, ordinance, or other measure that relates to the designation or use of a private entity’s bathroom or changing facility or that requires or prohibits the entity from adopting a policy on the designation or use of the entity’s bathroom or changing facility.”

So local governments can’t pass laws saying you have to let men use your women’s facilities open to the public. But if you own it, you can let all the men in you want. Or not. It’s always framed that this somehow ‘targets’ transpeople.

Freegards

They should mind their own business, which is not government.

Are they not entitled to petition the government that rules over them?
