I think this entire Bathroom issue was a sham!

Posted in: Madison Park

North Carolina

Statute: N.C. Gen. Stat. §§ 130A-118(b)(4), (e) (2005).

Text: (b) A new certificate of birth shall be made by the State Registrar when . . .

(4) A written request from an individual is received by the State Registrar to change the sex on that individual's birth record because of sex reassignment surgery, if the request is accompanied by a notarized statement from the physician who performed the sex reassignment surgery or from a physician licensed to practice medicine who has examined the individual and can certify that the person has undergone sex reassignment surgery.

Summary: North Carolina will issue a birth certificate reflecting the proper sex.

 

Our state already allows transgenders to get a DL with their new sex,  and change their Birth certificates.  So those transgenders will rightfully continue to use female bathrooms and locker rooms.   It want be against the law.

 

Do people not realize they have been doing this all along anyway.  

How would law enforcement ever enforce such a law.   Pull up your skirt and let us take a look?   Ridiculous from all angles. 

 

This was nothing but about Republicans in the state trying to get some votes.  The one that wrote the bill sent out and e-mail before the house ever went to work today and it told what he wrote and asked for campaign donations.   That showed his true colors to me.

 

Trash our city council and Mayor and Trash Roy Cooper!   They should be made to pay for this days session out of their own pockets.

Rep. Bishop Introduces House Bill 2, Issues Statement on Today's Special Session to Protect Businesses, Families, and Tourists from Charlotte's City Council
 
Charlotte, NC (March 23, 2016) – State Representative Dan Bishop (R-Mecklenburg) issued the following statement on House Bill 2 which he introduced this morning and which is the subject of today's special session of the North Carolina General Assembly:

"On January 19, I urged Mayor Roberts and the Charlotte City Council not to plunge our city into turmoil by acting beyond their legal authority to enact a radical bathroom ordinance. I promised that if they charged ahead with this extreme, unpopular, and illegal effort, I would act to correct it through litigation or in the General Assembly.

 
 
"This morning, I have kept my word. I have introduced as primary sponsor House Bill 2 at a special session of the General Assembly to rectify the deeply disturbing blunder by the City Council, which by its plain language purports to ban separate bathrooms for males and females, threatening havoc upon thousands of business establishments and the privacy interests of Charlotte's women and families.

"A WRAL poll earlier this month reported that 66% of likely voters statewide want this ridiculous Charlotte overreach dealt with by the General Assembly. And I have heard from many of them. Action by the General Assembly on my bill today – which Governor McCrory should then sign – will protect Charlotteans and indeed all residents of North Carolina from the folly of rogue city councils.

"If the City of Charlotte's illegal actions are not corrected, city councils all across our state will come under pressure by this narrow interest group intending to bully businesses and citizens into compliance with a radical agenda – to mow down their very right to disagree.

"Fortunately, the framers of our North Carolina state constitution recognized the importance of limiting the authority of cities, which have no bicameral legislature or separation of powers to restrain imprudent and rash actions. This Charlotte debacle is a prime example of what can happen when a handful of radicals decide to act without a whit of delegated authority and with little forethought as to the consequences.

Rep. Dan Bishop (R-Mecklenburg)
 
"My legislation will restore clarity. House Bill 2 sets clear rules for sex-specific private facilities in government buildings and allows businesses to decide for themselves what policies make sense. It will restore – and apply statewide – the public accommodations principles reflected in the 1968 ordinance that Charlotte recently mangled. And it will clarify that cities are not authorized to do radical social engineering as agents of the radical left.

"I am looking forward to speedy passage of this critical legislation."

See our NC law already says that if you have had gender reassignment you have a new sex.    Written in the law. 

 

4) A written request from an individual is received by the State Registrar to change the sex on that individual's birth record because of sex reassignment surgery, if the request is accompanied by a notarized statement from the physician who performed the sex reassignment surgery or from a physician licensed to practice medicine who has examined the individual and can certify that the person has undergone sex reassignment surgery.

Summary: North Carolina will issue a birth certificate reflecting the proper sex.

 

I thought Republicans wanted less government.   Looks like to me Raleigh can't stand local governments making up their own mind what they want for rules and laws in their cities.    Trump might be right it is just not D.C that is crooked!

Mayor Roberts released the following Statement:

 

Roberts released the following statement Wednesday night:

"I am appalled with the General Assembly’s actions today. It has passed a bill that is worse than what we have seen in Indiana and Georgia and other states. This legislation is literally the most anti-LGBT legislation in the country. It sanctions discrimination against the LGBT community.

This legislation also repeals local protections against discrimination based on race, color, national origin, and sex and replaces them with a statewide prohibition with no consequences for those who discriminate. Contrary to the NCGA’s claim that they have broadened protections, they have actually opened the door to discrimination against anyone for any reason.

This legislation overturns the ability of local governments to provide, as we have for many years, protections for our transgender employees.  It prohibits local governments from providing to their employees the same protections that private employers provide to their employees and puts us at risk of violating federal laws.

This legislation overturns well accepted and successful practices that permit visitors to use the restroom of the gender which they identify in public facilities.  This puts at risk our travel and tourism industry by overturning our policies of inclusion at our convention center, arena, airport, and auditoriums.  And it does this all across the state.

This legislation imposes new restrictions on schools and universities that puts public education at risk of violating federal law and jeopardizing federal funding.

And strangely, this legislation prohibits local governments from setting minimum or living wage – which we never even had the authorization to do.

This legislation threatens to undermine the economic growth and prosperity of Charlotte and North Carolina.

Discrimination is never right and discrimination is not good for business. This is a bad bill for the Tarheel State.

The General Assembly is on the wrong side of progress…it is on the wrong side of history.

These are not the values of Charlotte and they are not the values of the business community of Charlotte and North Carolina.

I urge the governor to veto this bill. Thank you."
