The photo, which was taken during Abbott’s San Antonio visit Friday, has since been shared nearly a thousand times on Facebook and garnered some 2,700 likes.

According to the San Antonio Express-News, Smith is local activist who thought Abbott's appearance to announce that he'll be running for a second term was the perfect opportunity to snap a pointed picture.

"I did not think it (shouting) would work, or that I would be heard and was more interested in the getting the photograph and not getting thrown out," Smith, who does not support Abbott, told the Express-News.

Smith tagged her picture #BathroomBuddy, referring to Texas’ controversial transgender bathroom bill, and said the ability to enforce the legislation “is just not there.”
