With Tasha's and other newer source books, are there any approved playable races that are NOT humanoids?

In the MM Satyr are Fey, Minotaur are Monstrosities, etc, but when they are playable races does their type change or are they effectively immune to spells like charm person, hold person?

Yes, which is part of the reason Satyr's are viewed as pretty powerful as a playable race.

Playable Satyrs and Centaurs are Fey, meaning they're indeed not affected by effects limited to humanoids but are affected by anything affecting the Fey.

Not sure about the Minotaurs, and can't check right now.
