re: North Carolina Legislature Votes to Overturn Controversial 'Bathroom Bill'

This law was never enforceable in practice. What would be required to prevent someone from entering into the "wrong bathroom"? A genital exam? That would be held unconstitutional. Checking their birth certificate? That's just not practical.

So why in the hell did the NC Republicans pass the law to begin with? Is there an epidemic of transgendered persons assaulting people in restrooms that I'm unaware of?

Further, because the law is essentially unenforceable, why didn't they repeal the law when the state started hemmoraging business?

Look, Im not an expert on these matters, but i think transgender might be a mental disorder. But, this was simply grandstanding by the NC GOP. This law did nothing beyond making transgender people feel uncomfortable and hurting the state financially
