According to HuffPost, Charlie Comero, a transgender man in Charlotte, North Carolina, is taking bold — and brilliant — steps to educate the public about the realities of life for transgender people in public spaces in wake of the state’s recent anti-LGBT legislation.
On March 23, North Carolina’s General Assembly passed House Bill 2, which was signed into law by Governor Pat McCrory on the same day and is being called the most anti-LGBT bill to pass in America. Included among the many horrific parts of this law is a clause that restricts transgender people from using public restrooms that correspond with their gender identity.
Comero, like most queer and trans people in North Carolina and across the country, was outraged by this legislation and wanted to find a way to highlight the way this law will dramatically affect his daily life and may be potentially dangerous. He decided that when complying with House Bill 2 by using women’s public restrooms, he would hand out cards he created to anyone who questioned his presence in the space.
Just imagine a very beautiful transgender woman entering men’s bathroom or a very fierce looking body building transgender man entering the woman’s bathroom, now that’s a topic of discussion!
