PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — When Thomas Lewis told his South Dakota high school last year that he is transgender, teachers called him by his new name and used male pronouns when addressing him. But he says the accommodations stopped at being able to use the men's bathroom.

BOSTON – An investigation into state Sen. Brian Joyce has expanded beyond the Massachusetts Ethics Commission to the FBI and the IRS, as agents from the two federal agencies on Wednesday raided the Milton Democrat's Canton law offices, officials said.
Joyce, who has been the subject of several media reports questioning his use of campaign funds and influence as a state politician to benefit his legal practice, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, and last month entered a settlement to resolve questions raised by state campaign finance officials.
