[quote=Anonymous]Ok, so I've not read much about this (intentionally). But the NC law that requires people to use the bathroom that corresponds with the gender on their birth certificate - WTF?

How is it supposed to work?  I cannot figure how they could write a law that was enforceable.  Americans are not required to carry birth certificates.  So......a person who looks female goes into a female bathroom.  And....what?  What happens next?  Someone (a police officer?) asks them if they really are a female?  Another patron suspects they are a male and calls (911? the police?) and then what , exactly, is supposed to happen?  What if a person has had gender reassignment surgery?  How would a police officer know they were transgender?

I mean WTF.  How the F is this even an issue?

When did bathrooms become the hill for religious conservatives to die on (I guess after wedding cake bakers?)?  Is this a "think of the children!" last-ditch effort for discrimination (i.e., it's a false argument designed to scare people but isn't in any way anything real).

I just DO.NOT.GET.IT.

Nonsense.   [/quote]
