Request for answers from the HRC group.

I have posted a question in General Discussion (not GDP), about the NC Bathroom Law. It has nothing to do with the election, but I wanted to post it where the HRC members could respond because you seem to be such a common sense group of people and not prone to jump on people just looking for info. ~

TIA~

Transgendered women are women, not men. Transgendered men are men, not women. If they're transgendered, they'll have little problem supplying medical proof of that (not that they should have to).

Most pre-operative cases won't use the shower in public. That's not because they're a danger, but because too many other people are a danger to them.

You might do better than I.

Hopefully a transgendered person will weigh in; I'm simply projecting my own feelings in their direction, which really isn't fair (even if I'm being as open-minded as possible, I'm probably missing the point).
