North Carolina is a state where the rights of many people do not matter. Employers can fire workers for any reason. The governor just signed into a law that would not allow any city to pass any anti-discrimination laws. Transgender individuals are being forced into using public restrooms based on the gender on their birth certificates. This is something that is very difficult to change. This law shows ignorance on the part of the government. Years ago I read the autobiography of Christine Jorgensen. In it she wrote that her chromosomes at birth had been XXY instead of XX or XY. She had been born with male genitalia, but her health had not been very good until gender reassignment surgeries and hormone treatments. The male hormones had been the cause of her health problems. There have also been cases where a child is born with male and female genitalia. A decision is made as to which gender is assigned to the child. There is always the possibility that the decision made is incorrect. It is also legal in this state for businesses to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. The governor, Pat McCrory, and the legislators who passed this law need to be voted out of office.
