Sarah Davis is used to butting heads with her fellow Republicans. During the 10 years, she served in the Texas House, she regularly spoke out in support of the LGBTQ+ community, a rare sight in one of the states leading the charge on attacking queer rights. In 2017, she crossed party lines and voted against legislation aimed at preventing trans students from using toilets that align with their authentic selves. In 2020, she joined forces with another Republican, as well as a group of Democrats, to push legislation that would further protect LGBTQ+ people from discrimination. Davis has immersed herself in learning about gender-affirming healthcare from medical professionals and hearing from parents about how anti-trans legislation affects their children. Talking to PinkNews, she said, “I had a constituent who called the office and said: ‘Can I meet Sarah and bring my transgender child?’” The woman had twins and explained that at around age three, one of her children began saying that she wanted to wear dresses and grow her hair. Sarah came to know that the girl was afraid to go to school as she was scared to use the bathroom. She then realized that she would not want to be a part of making this child’s life difficult or scary.
