Amazing.
Trans people have far more to fear from straight folks than the other way around. When you look at hate crime stats, race motivation is the top reason, followed by people attacked for their sexuality.
The nc law was motivated because of charlottes moves regarding discrimination. There was no legal reason for it, no criminal activity to warrant it. The gop lost on the ssm battle, so they went after another group of 'those people'. Gotta be superior to somebody i guess.
