North Carolina transgender student asks to meet governor over 'bathroom bill'

Over the weekend, Skye sent a letter to North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory asking for a meeting to discuss the impact the legislation would have on him and other transgender individuals, including several students at his high school.

"By putting this law in place you're putting kids like me in danger," he wrote.

I'm always impressed when a trans teen puts himself in the public eye to make things better for everyone.

Yes, indeed. That's a great kid. I hope there's some follow-up to this -- I'd like to know how it turns out, including whether Gov. McCrory deigns to meet with him.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say no...
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
