Ohio has passed transgender bathroom laws in schools. Are businesses next?

It was officially repealed in 2020 after a partial repeal in 2017 and statewide boycotting and frustrations among the community. Eight years later, states are forming similar versions of HB2 and are making it further, being signed into legislation. As it stands, 20% of the states have an active bathroom law. The law states that transgender people must use the bathroom according to their gender from birth and not what they identify as, emphasizing schools, locker rooms, and government-owned buildings.
