Yes, because one of my close friends is trans, female to male, and you would never know. Has facial hair and everything. In fact I didn't know for the longest time. You really want a man who has facial hair forced to use the womens bathroom?
Its absolute lunacy. A child predator/sexual predator is going to find a way in a bathroom regardless of any law. This law protects no one.
I have a Trans friend, too. She goes to the bathroom where she wants and nobody says a word. The Charlotte ordinance was unnecessary, in my view. As for HB2, it's equally harmful to my Transgender friend, because now she is legally bound to go to the ladies' room, where her scraggly beard may be a problem. Thing is, this law, which I think is an unnecessary over-reaction to the unnecessary Charlotte ordinance, is practically unenforceable. She will continue to go to the men's room and no one's going to stop her. I know I won't.
The fact that the ordinance and the law are both terrible doesn't negate the need for decency and protection for children. Unfortunately, those who need a good, credible law are being hurt the most by this stupid, insane battle going on.
