[ Transgender woman Sarah McBride shared an
Instagram photo on Thursday from inside a
women’s restroom in North Carolina, where the
recent passage of House Bill 2 prohibits
transgender people from using the restroom that
matches their sexual identity rather than the one
on their birth certificate.
The LGBT rights activist who made headlines as
president of her college’s student body when she
came out as transgender in 2012, wrote:
"Here I am using a women's restroom in North
Carolina that I'm technically barred from being
in.
They say I'm a pervert.
They say I'm a man dressed as a woman.
They say I'm a threat to their children.
They say I'm confused.
They say I'm dangerous.
And they say accepting me as the person I have
fought my life to be seen as reflects the
downfall of a once great nation.
I'm just a person. We are all just people. Trying
to pee in peace. Trying to live our lives as fully
and authentically as possible. Barring me from
this restroom doesn't help anyone. And allowing
me to continue to use this bathroom - just
without fear of discrimination and harassment -
doesn't hurt anyone
Stop this. We are good people" ]
