Transgender Restroom Laws

One Friday Raleigh, N.C. a federal judge ruled that students and employees must be allowed to use restrooms matching their gender identity at the University of North Carolina. Then a U.S. District Judge Thomas Schroeder had temporarily blocked three plaintiffs that were called HB2 until it goes to trial. Schroeder’s final decision would be made after the trial.
                HB2 was then passed in march and it said that transgender people had to use the restroom that has to correspond to whatever sex is on their birth certificates. This would also exclude any antidiscrimination protections. North Carolina’s Republican leaders said that the law was passed because it would protect privacy and safety. They also said that it would be able to keep any guys out of the woman’s restrooms and prevent any hard that could come out of it All the transgender residents claimed that the restroom safety is protected by laws already and that the HB2 law is harmful and discriminatory.

                Later on, Schroeder said that the three plaintiffs are likely to succeed in their arguments that HB2 violates Title IX. Then again Schroeder says that the transgender residents have not shown that they are likely to win the argument that the HB2 goes against their constitutional equal rights protection.
