LGBT advocates have already persuaded a majority of the legislature to back the transgender rights bill, but that doesn't mean that passage of the bill is a done deal. In fact, the bill's fate will ultimately be determined by a handful of legislative "gate-keepers" who must decide both to support it and to make it a legislative priority. Without their support and commitment to expend political capital on the measure, the bill is dead in the water this session.
