"Landon was not like most kids around two and it became obvious when he was seven," said Aaron Richie, Landon's dad.

"I don't share a bathroom at home. I don't want to share it with a male somewhere else," said Linda Bradberry, bathroom bill supporter.
Supporters also dismiss concerns that other states might boycott Texas if the legislation moves forward.
"Don't believe the fake news. It's economic terrorism and they said the same thing in Houston. We didn't lose convention business. We gained more," said Jared Woodfill, with Conservative Republicans of Texas.
For Landon, though, he worries about the message lawmakers might send him and others.
"I know for a lot of trans kids the bathroom is a very frightening place. This bill is only going to increase the risks of assault," said Landon.
