Have not read the thread in depth, but know that NC's HB2 is not only about the bathroom. It was designed to stop any recourse against the state for firing anyone! That is right if you were female they could fire you for that and you would not have a leg to stand on in a court case. Yes it was mostly directed at the LGBTQ+ community but also all state employees. They are using Charlotte's nondiscrimination law as an excuse. THe state says that Charlotte has overstepped because they have a stronger nondiscrimination law than the state. BUT,using their logic they overstepped because of federal laws that they are ignoring. If this bill(HB2) did not become an issue nobody would have thought twice about a transwoman using the ladies room-how many had used it before the bill even existed. This is just a bunch of political manuevering. IMHO Hugs Lana Mae
