Abbott was responding to a move by President Barack Obama's administration that provided guidance to school districts concerning transgender students and how Title IX protects those students.
The administration told schools that transgender students had a right to use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity, and stopping them from doing so could result in funding losses.
Not to be outdone, some of Abbott's Twitter followers chimed in with their support.
Not even if they are the same sex! No one! Ever!@GregAbbott_TX No one has a Right to be in the stall next to my mother, sister or nieces whatever they identify as. DSISGRACEFUL
