bills and resolutions first go to committees that deliberate, investigate, and revise
them before they go to general debate. The majority of bills and resolutions never make it out of committee.

That's not what the sentence says. It says "employment discrimination." Presumably, that means discrimination in hiring, training, promoting, paying, and other areas specifically related to employment. The restroom issue is one that is peripheral to the discussion (although not totally irrelevant). Some try to make restroom usage a wedge issue that obscures the true purpose of the bill, which is about leveling the playing field and providing transgender persons the right to work with dignity.
