The anti-trans law in NC is even worse than you think.

From the Rev William Barber (who I pattern my politics after).

1. So if I'm in NC and have to use a public restroom, who do I have to show my birth certificate

and womanhood to? I'm a cis female. But you can't be sure of that unless you look at my birth certificate and womanhood.

Will cis MEN have to show their BCs and manhoods to anyone, or are they exempt for being cis men? But how will we know they're cis men unless we can see their birth certificates and manhoods?

[mmonk]

2. All good questions. And how exactly will it be enforced?

[valerief]

3. A lot of people are going to leave piss and shit trails behind them because

the potties are off limits without documentation.

4. The key is that it is all encompassing.

Hiring, firing, etc.. It is basically saying you have no rights in state courts.

7. Gov. McCory (NC-R) personally will be making random inspections of occupied toilets.

If he suspects a violation, he will photograph you with your genitals exposed and issue the appropriate citation. It is rumored that the governor has a fascination with genitals, and that might be reflected in the Comments block of the citation. For example, he might comment on size, warts, attached ticks (remember, this is NC), scars, and abnormalities. If you take it to judge, he will appear to testify against you.

5. I thought that MCorey and his band of cronies and "Dark Money" like the Art Popes of NC.............

didn't like having a big government-----------------now they are going to have to hire potty police that doesn't pay anything because this "law" also goes after wages and benefits---------------------

8. We have gender neutral public restrooms

where I work. Some of the locals have complained to our corporate offices about that.

But if I understand Rev. Barber correctly those idiots have blocked themselves from suing us.

I'm still unclear if our restrooms are legal

9. It's way past all that. Such as can you or any other

person can be fired through discrimination with no remedy through the state court system.

[unapatriciated]

10. oh believe me I realize that.

I was just trying to make a point at how stupid the people in this state are. The religious right have opened themselves up to discrimination, yet they are so blinded by hate and ignorance they don't see it.

[mmonk]

11. Yes, they most certainly are.

13. Tempted to go to north carolina (trans woman here) with a tshirt that says "I'm transgender" or

something to such an effect, use public bathrooms until I get arrested, then sue all the way up to SCOTUS if need be.
