Here's What's Wrong With North Carolina's 'Fix' to Transphobic HB 2

"Since North Carolina legislators rushed the anti-LGBT law known as House Bill 2 into being back in March, the state has experienced serious backlash from advocates and businesses alike.

But Tuesday, draft legislation was introduced in the North Carolina House of Representatives that seeks to amend that law to allow people who have had certain gender-affirming surgeries to seek a "certificate of sex reassignment." This document would, in theory, allow these select individuals to use facilities consistent with their gender identity in government buildings and public spaces throughout the state."

Stupidity-  perhaps they'd like us to sew some sort of emblem to our clothes. The faster these regressive efforts fail, the better.

Oh, exactly what I was thinking.  "You!  Your papers.  Now."  "Yes, officer, I have a permit to use this bathroom". Life in the Land Of The Pee...
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.

What's "funny" is if you talk to anybody that supports crap like this they'll often say things like how they want the government to just stay out of peoples lives - freedom for me, but not for thee.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
