HB2

If you don't know what it is, you can take a look at this article: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/mccrorys ... 66020.html

First off, the state governor is sueing the Department of Justice, and I'm just confused as to why he's doing it. This bill is obviously discriminating against a group of people who have done nothing wrong, as well as taking away most of our rights to sue an employer, and if one part of this bill is is gone, the rest still stands. What's worse is that people are actually supporting this by stereotyping by saying that men will go into womens bathrooms and stuff, which is ridiculous. This whole thing is ridiculous, and it looks like people outside of this state think so too. But yeah, this is just one of the things that's bothering me right now, because my state governor is an idiot

Listen I understand why you're upset your governor is being stupid about these decisions and there are people who are being extremely discrimitory about the law. But at the same time I do agree with this law simply because there are people who are sick horrible people that would dress as a woman to go into a girls bathroom and do terrible things to other women and even vice versa with girls dressing as guys. It's a shame we can't just be at peace with all this and not make a law over the bathroom but it's gotten to this point.

If you cross reference the number of crimes involving cross dressing in either bathroom and the number of crimes against transgender people, you'll discover the latter is predominantly higher, especially considering the tiny ratio of transgender people compared to everyone else. They are who are in greater danger in our society. Moreover, the bill does nothing to stop this from happening as there is no listed punishment for disregarding it. And do you really think sexual assaulters will be stopped by a sign on a bathroom door? They won't be stopped, but transgender people fearing their own health and safety will, and you end up with the worst of both worlds. The bill has no sense of logic whatsoever and there is no justification for it.

It's another discriminatory law in the southern united states.
What's new?

What's even dumber about it is that they've had this right for years, decades, really, and so this literally does nothing but take rights from them.
The fear of abuse is a false claim, as those decades have proven.

ha, this.


But that severability clause is cruel. Part I is awful, Parts II and III equally (more?) so. I agree with HP writer - the first provision, politically, is toothless. The others aren't...

I feel like we're always gonna discrimate on other people just so we can be better than that group of people

it's almost been a year and this still isn't gone but at least our new governor is working on getting rid of it
