HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A person who was born a man, but lives life as a woman, was arrested after using the women's bathroom at a downtown Houston library. But was it really illegal? The confusion has a local pastor's group calling on the Texas attorney general to decide.
As a transgendered woman, Majanae Chambers is all too familiar with the debate over which bathroom she should use.
"If you live a life as a female, you should go into the female restroom because I went to a male restroom before and I got harassed in a male restroom," Chambers said.
