The world's most popular
transgender Caithlyn Jenner will have no choice but to use the men's bathroom
if she comes to North Carolina according to the state's governor, Pat McCrory.
McCrory, on Tuesday defended
the state’s anti-LGBT law, and blamed “liberals” for “a major change in
culture” that has forced Republicans to respond with the legislation forming an
anti-LGBT law.
North Carolina’s
anti-LGBT law passed in March, removes anti-discrimination protection for LGBTQ
people and mandates that people use the public bathrooms that correspond to the
sex they were assigned at birth.
“In the private sector
in North Carolina, she can go wherever the private sector wants her to,”
Governor McCrory said in Tuesday’s debate between McCrory and
his Democratic opponent, state Attorney General Roy Cooper.
“If she’s going to a
shower facility at [University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill] after running
around the track, she’s going to use the men’s shower.”
“If you’re a man, you’re
going to go to the man’s locker room, restroom or shower. If you’re a woman,
you’re going to go to their appropriate shower,” McCrory said. “No change
whatsoever.”
But his opponent Cooper
said the law must change.
It writes discrimination
into our law and it has been a disaster for our economy,” Cooper said.
“Governor McCrory
continues to go across the state telling people that this is not hurting our
economy. He attacks businesses who are opposed to it and says that everything
is going fine. Governor, what planet are you on?”
