Question about the NC Bathroom Law

[MillennialDem]

77. I'm trans and well aware of many of your points... and some are WRONG

Trans people often do carry around proof of their GD. If they're early in transition, they will often keep a note from a doctor or psychologist in case they're "caught" in the bathroom. I used to have one. Threw it away.

Another way of proof: changes to driver's license (also state ID card, passport, etc). This is usually much easier to change and much more important to change than one's birth certificate. But it's not as simple as going into the DMV - it usually requires a doctor's note again and possibly a legal name change. This is my proof of GD now 13 years later. You think a sexual predator is going to be able to fool a psychologist AND a doctor enough to change their ID - and even though it's technically possible if they want to get their freak on in a bathroom they're not going to arse around with all that work.

I'm also well aware of some who don't engage in transition (or only engage in partial transition). I'm non-op myself, though I've done every other step, including other surgeries in my journey to womanhood. But I have friends who are only doing partial transitions. They use the men's room. Same goes for virtually every person who is early in transition. I didn't show up in the woman's room the day after my diagnosis "Sup ladies, it's all good I'm trans. How are you doing? Trans people that use the opposite of their birth sex bathroom have almost always taken SIGNIFICANT steps in transition silly bear.

As for the fundies abusing the law, sure. In fact I'm in favor of shitcanning the NC law in general, but I'm saying IF we wanted to keep the law that's how we could fix it.
