"One issue at the center of North Carolina's so-called bathroom bill controversy is safety, but who's at risk? Depends on whom you ask.

Supporters of House Bill 2 tend to focus on people born male who later transition to female. The HB2 supporters say that without the new law, sexual predators could just say they're a transgender person with the right to use a women's bathroom and easily gain access to potential victims."

What's to stop a cis man going into a ladies bathroom claiming to be an ftm?

Great question Peep... makes you really stop and realize just how ridiculous this law is, not that we didn't think it was already
