Far-right San Antonio activist Jack Finger threatens trans women during testimony at Texas capitol

Outspoken San Antonio conservative Jack M. Finger made threats against transgender women at the state capitol last Friday during public testimony about the Texas Legislature's so-called "bathroom bill," Them magazine reports. Finger made the remarks at a committee hearing for Senate Bill 8, which would restrict use of bathrooms at government buildings, prisons and schools to those corresponding to a person's sex at birth, according to the magazine, which focuses on issues affecting the trans community. Finger also repeatedly misgendered trans women during his remarks, the publication reports. “I'm just an old fogie and I wasn't made for these times, but how on earth did we get to the point where men are allowed to go into women's restrooms and locker rooms and shower with them and nobody can do anything about it?
