Texas transgender 'bathroom bill' dies in legislative session

The Texas "bathroom bill" that aimed to limit bathroom access to transgender people is officially dead. This is the second time the bathroom restrictions failed to pass in Texas. “Today’s victory shows what can happen when transgender Americans and their allies stay vigilant and push back against legislation that helps no one and harms many,” Sarah Kate Elli, president and CEO of GLAAD The bill attempted to force transgender people to use bathrooms which corresponded to the sex listed on their birth certificates.
