Ongoing NC GOP debacle thread

To play devil's advocate, if men are allowed in a women's restroom, a male predator would be able to "blend in" more easily.

A parallel would be in open-carry states - It's much harder to tell the law abiding gun carriers from the criminals, and then act on it. You can't just call the police when someone walks in to a 7-11 in Texas with a gun.

HB2 makes it easier, not harder, for a male predator to "blend in."

Sure, and by all accounts they were doing that perfectly well until they decided they needed an ordinance to bring it to the attention of the rest of the general public.

Except for these accounts that you didn't read. And actually pretty much any account from a transgender individual

I don't have Charlotte specific statistics, but a 2011 study found that 10% of transgender individuals reported being physically attacked for using the "wrong" bathroom. A 2013 study of the Washington D.C. area echoed this finding.

There have also been studies showing that suicide rates among trans-youth rise when access to bathrooms is denied.

They're just trying to use the bathroom. I don't get how that offends people.

A poster posted this article on Facebook claiming trans people want special rights.
http://www.theblaze.com/contributio...s-are-not-being-bullied-they-are-the-bullies/

A man tweeted an image of himself wearing fake breasts and women’s clothes standing in a men’s room, accompanied by the caption: “According to North Carolina law, this is the bathroom I belong in. So I ask you, who’s the one in danger?” The tweet went viral with thousands of comments and retweets, but nobody on the Internet thought to suggest the obvious solution: take off the girl costume and maybe you won’t be so uncomfortable in the men’s restroom.

Aren't women's bathrooms all stalls anyway? Most people aren't bothered by men and women both using the dressing room areas in retail clothing stores.
 
The trans community is by far the largest group of people impacted by this. # of trans people who haven't had sexual reassignment surgery > male perverts playing dress up to prey on women.

“This bill was purely to protect women and children in the bathroom from people who are really bad actors,” Forest told me. “This had nothing to do with the transgender movement. Nobody has ever said that it’s the transgender community that’s going to be causing those problems. Other bad actors will.”

And 1 more time ...

HB2 makes it easier, not harder, for those bad actors to cause problems.
 
Pretty much when the entire country is against a bill, companies are pulling out, and governments are restricting travel to your state, the bill does the wrong thing. Wake up, you goddamn ignorant fucks.

They are doubling down. Gives them some Drumpf anti-establishment credit with rural voters.

Not to mention all employees who were being paid a higher minimum wage and all the people who had filed employment discrimination suits in state courts.
 
Somewhat related. Jessica Williams is so good with pieces like this.

Not just companies, but blue chip companies objecting -- Apple, Amazon, PayPal, Red Hat, Pepsi, etc. Makes McCrory and Forest and Co look like even bigger fucking idiots for criticizing those companies.
 
Guys, this bill isn't going to impact the economy of North Carolina. Didn't you see the press release? Didn't you read what it said?

Not to rural voters. His entrenched response to the backlash from big business and other politicians allows Ol' Pat to tap into some of the Drumpf anti-establishment animus.

Pat can't be bought ! He's protecting our kids from PC !
