Oxford AL rescinds Anti-trans bathroom ordinance

http://planettransgender.com/oxford-al-rescinds-anti-trans-bathroom-ordinance/

Planet Transgender/Added by Kelli Busey on May 5, 2016.

"Oxford AL city council members voted 3-2 Wednesday rescinding the town's draconian law targeting transgender people. The illegal measure passed just a week before was purportedly in response to Target stores reiterating the chains inclusive transgender policy."

Finally, a little wisdom prevails.  Or as the council noticed; Actions have consequences.
Earth my body, water my blood, air my breath and fire my spirit.

My personal transition path included medical changes.  The path others take may require no medical intervention, or different care.  We each find our own path. I provide these dates for the curious.

Yeah, the wisdom of not getting sued by the Government. But you know what, I'll take that.

I imagine they realized that the bathroom jail thing just cannot be policed or handled with any kind of accuracy or consistency, and that a higher court would quickly over turn it. I am thinking that the Oxford city council and many people in the local community are perfectly fine with such a law and having people thrown in jail though....
