"Going to the bathroom in public makes Payton McGarry nervous now. He's worried somebody will confront him. Or, worse, attack him. So before he leaves his apartment, he asks himself: "Have I drunk too much water today?"
That's because McGarry, a 20-year-old student at the University of North Carolina in Greensboro, is a transgender man. But because his birth certificate says he's female, North Carolina law says it's illegal for him to use the men's room at school."
