If they still have the va jay-jay they need to be a using the ladies room.
It's very simple.
Although a little creepy if they walk in with a beard, no boobs, and then sit down to pee, but whatever.
How do you poop? I for one sit down to do that. Also, who is going to inspect people to make sure their genitalia matches the bathroom they are going to?
It basically says that non-discrimination ordinances of any type (racial, veteran's status, sex, etc.) must go no further than the state's law on those topics. It's being labeled as anti-gay because the state has no anti-discrimination statute for gay people as a protected class, so it prevents cities from doing so if they would like (not commenting on whether those statutes are good, just that it's the reason for much of the anti-gay allegations). I think that applies to veteran's status as well.
It also has ramifications for lawsuits; if you have a racial discrimination claim under state law, for example, you can no longer bring it in state court. It has to go to the state administrative agency for adjudication, or to federal court.
Finally, it prevents cities from establishing minimum wages in excess of the state minimum wage.
There might be more, but those are the big changes that I'm aware of.
I was in 4 years of PE and never had to remove my underwear. Take off jeans, put on shorts.
You didn't have P.E. uniforms? Or even a P.E. dress code requirement? Didn't have required swim class, for which you HAVE to change into and out of a swimsuit?
Many schools have such, and that's why NC's law and others like it are necessary.
Hell, even malecollege students complained about Seamus Johnston using their facilities. Johnston was expelled for repeated violations. Federal court in 2015 upheld the expulsion, stating Johnston had no valid claim of discrimination.
As some have noted, it may be that the law has to be tweaked and clarified, but it was never intended to be anti-discriminatory and if the greater gay/lesbian community weren't so sensitive that they allow themselves to become obsessed with this, they would have read it with objectivity and understood that it does not intend discrimination against them.
Nothing really has changed, except for the added protection of the rest of society that we have a duty to protect.

Bet you didn't know that even the Federal Government doesn't list sexual orientation as a protected class*. Might have been something Obama and the Dems should have focused on in 2009-2011 when they had the Presidency, House, and Senate instead of cramming Obamacare that most hate down Americans' throats.
*That's why a federal judge ruled against Seamus Johnston in 2015. No basis for the discrimination claim.

Yes red shorts and a school tee. You take off your jeans and put on the shorts, take off your shirt and put on the tee. No need to take off your underwear or bra. No nudity required.
We had no swim class, because there was no pool. Many public schools do not have a pool thus no swim class. No swim class no need to put on a swim suit. No nudity required.

It REMOVED discrimination protections for LGBT people in employment and public accommodations that were at the city level. THAT has changed.
