The Texas House has passed a bill that would bar transgender people from using bathrooms in government buildings that align with their gender identities.
In a vote that puts scores of women at risk, the Texas House of Representatives today (Thursday, Aug. 28) passed the “Texas Women’s Privacy Act,” aka a discriminatory and anti-transgender “bathroom bill,” the Texas Tribune has reported.
Across the Union 19 states have already passed legislation limiting transgender people's access to the bathroom of their gender identity in public buildings.
Eight years after Texas Republicans failed to pass a bill restricting what bathrooms transgender Texans can use in public spaces, the measure is on the precipice of reaching Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk after the Texas House tentatively approved the bill Thursday afternoon.
