Thank you for your concern, Gov. Pat McCrory of North Carolina, which you displayed by signing House Bill 2 into law. We know you only did it for the women and the children.
The law, commonly called House Bill 2 or HB2, was needed to protect the privacy and safety of women and girls in bathrooms and locker rooms, supporters said. “Such an ordinance creates a loophole sexual predators can exploit,” said the Rev. Mark Creech, executive director of the Christian Action League of North Carolina, as members of the crowd waved signs saying “Keep kids safe.”
Clearly, your concern was for the heterosexual women who do not work outside of the home, and their children, and that is why the law would ...
... void municipal LGBT nondiscrimination ordinances, prevent municipalities from requiring contractors to pay workers more than the minimum wage and bar workers from filing discrimination lawsuits in state court.
And thank you for your concern, Steven Waits, president of the Oxford, Alabama, city council. The city of Oxford recently criminalized the use of a bathroom that does not match the gender on one’s birth certificate, with a fine of $500 and/or six months in jail. According to the ACLU, “It’s essentially just criminalizing trans existence.”
But we know you are not trying to make it illegal to be transgender—you are just concerned about our welfare.
Waits said the council adopted the law “not out of concerns for the 0.3 percent of the population who identify as transgender,” but “to protect our women and children,” according to the newspaper.
Because next to running out of toilet paper or being shot by the woman in the stall next to us who is carrying a fully loaded gun in the purse that her three-year-old child is holding for her, transgender folk are a major source of—oh hell. They just want to pee.
