A brand new invoice proposed in Texas may cost transgender individuals with a state felony in the event that they lie about their organic intercourse assigned at start … and two lawmakers are defending the tough punishment.
Texas State Reps. Steve Toth and Nate Schatzline joined us on “TMZ Reside” Tuesday and we requested them in regards to the proposed invoice that will add a brand new type of fraud associated to gender identification.
As Toth and Schatzline clarify, the invoice — Texas Home Invoice 3817 — says a transgender Texan would commit “gender identification fraud” in the event that they lie on state information or to employers about their organic intercourse … and they might be charged with a state felony, which is punishable by as much as two years behind bars.
That may imply Caitlyn Jenner can be in violation of the regulation if she stuffed out a state doc in Texas and stated she was feminine. We requested Toth and Schatzline about this situation — would they actually throw Caitlyn in jail ?!? — and challenged them about why such a invoice is required in Texas.
Frankly, there should not lots of people this is able to apply to … based mostly on the reasons these lawmakers give us.
Toth made it a degree to say the invoice does NOT make being transgender towards the regulation, however they each advised us being trans is a psychological sickness.
The invoice is unlikely to be signed into regulation — however you by no means know nowadays — and our dialog is civil with some wholesome debate. Catch the complete interview on “TMZ Reside.”
