Photo of Texas Gov. alongside transgender woman goes viral
“How will the Potty Police know I'm transgender if the Governor doesn't?” Ashley Smith captioned a picture of her alongside Gov. Greg Abbott.
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.”
