The bounty itself reads that any person besides local and state government officials may sue a trans person using the restroom that aligns with their gender, with payments including “injunctive relief sufficient to prevent the defendant from violating the provisions of this ordinance; nominal and compensatory damages if the plaintiff has suffered injury or harm from the defendant’s conduct; statutory damages in an amount of not less than $10,000 for each violation of this ordinance; and court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees.”

I desperately want to see a hoarde of transpeople go to Odessa and use public bathrooms aligning with their assigned birth gender, just to see how long it will take before Texans realize that this is fucking stupid.
