but in terms of athletics, alana, when it comes to the things that you have missed out on, people sayinst you, what is your response to that? >> that people should realize that a lot of biological females have missed out on making it to meats that really matter like state and regionals and the transgender athletes have taken spots on the podium that belonged to biological females. we trained for so many days a week, so many hours to be able to be the best in our state and region, and these biological males are just taking it away from us and we really deserve it. >> katie: really quickly, i know that the aclu is arguing that this fits into a title ix that transgender athletes are entitled to compete against women as women in their sport. but what about the other side of the argument that title ix is supposed to protect people like alana question marks because that's exactly right, title ix is designed to ensure that girls like alana have a fair playing field to be champions and earn those college scholarships, so we want to move forward and we went to see it enforced across the countr

. >> joining me now for more, alana rocha. lauren, i want to talk with you, you heard antonia hylton speaking about the impact on communities of color. where and how is it being felt most acutely? >> thank you for having me. one of the best examples of this from the health care side is the effect it's had on dialysis patients. here in san antonio we have extremely high rates of diabetes and end stage renal disease. and patients just need dialysis every other day in that situation. so what happened when we had intermittent power and water outages throughout the week is that folks were just unable to get into their dialysis clinics. and that's a lifesaving, mandatory treatment for those patients. those patients are predominantly black and hispanic. they were going days, sometimes a week without dialysis because you need an enormous amount of both water and power in order to do dialysis. you also need good water pressure and clean water. all of those things were in short supply over the past week. >> alana, when you hear about th

alana: it's unclear.he deregulation will change as far as going the other direction but as far as going under, you know, going under federal oversight or things like that, you've seen former longtime governor rick perry, former energy secretary, say texans can weather a few days in the dark. it was more dire for a lot of texans than just sitting in the dark. but rather than going under federal oversight. but you have every agency here that even touches fossil fuel, the energ industry, looking into this. seeing what they can do. maybe even outside of lawmakers, within their own authorities, to enact changes fast. stephanie: it was much more than texans being in the dark. i speck to people worried their children would freeze in their mobile homes. there were delicense vaccinations. we're in the midst of the pandemic still. can you talk about how the winter storm affected the vaccination campaign there and how the state plans to catch up? alana: our health reporter, one of them, was all over that last week.

joining us now multimedia reporter for the texas tribune, alana roacha. the real problem was and then i noticed there was a small town texas mayor that called his residents lazy because they were complaining about not having power. how common is it for elected officials in texas right now to be trying to deflect the blame on this being a liberal plot as opposed to what the reality is on the ground? >> of course, there is a lot of finger pointing happening right now and some trying to take responsibility. the governor did call yesterday the reform of the electric reliability council text the power grid that covers about 90% of the state to be an emergency item. lawmakers are meeting right now, about a month into session. we only meet here every other year for about 140 days, so the fact it's an emergency item allows lawmakers to take up that issue within the first 60 days. you already saw leaders from the house and senate talk about calling committee hearings to look at this, but yeah. you saw outrage from the top three here in the state among other lawmak
