Texas' controversial 'bathroom bill' targeting transgender people goes into effect

Texas' controversial 'bathroom bill' targeting transgender people goes into effect. Senate Bill 8 mandates that bathrooms in schools and government buildings must be used according to biological gender. Transgender individuals can no longer use bathrooms that align with their gender identity in tax-funded buildings. The law imposes fines on schools and government buildings for violations, with the first offense resulting in a $25,000 fine and subsequent offenses incurring fines up to $125,000.
