Where are all of these shower rooms that women are frolicking around naked? Even my gym has curtains for the shower/changing stalls. The public pool has curtains in the changing stalls too.

Womens changing rooms and bathrooms are not like some teenage males fantasy of girls soaping each other up and running around naked.

Ahh once again the one-sided hypocrisy from the leftists.

And when the government pulls middle-of-the-night anti-gun bills, allows free access and publication of firearms owners home address' and personal information, make fines (oops, I mean "permit fees") for constitutionally protected rights, or have their public officials come out and publicly say that large swaths of the conservative voting base aren't welcome in states is A-OK.


Make it so pervy folks can't watch my daughter undress, ask for notification of an abortion for the father of the child, require a free ID to vote, or anything similar and they lose their minds.

So you think every gym is just like yours?
Not all women use the curtained areas. Not all gyms have curtains for changing stalls. It's hard to get dressed in the shower don't you think? Everything's wet, even the floor.

And, by the way, such strange fantasies may be the reason so many on the left don't understand the rationale behind this law.

Difference of opinion does not mean anyone who thinks differently is an idiot. That would mean that, because he does not agree with you, he would have the right to call you an idiot?

I stopped at question 2 because it's BS.

"2. Does this bill take away existing protections for individuals in North Carolina?

Answer: No. In fact, for the first time in state history, this law establishes a statewide anti-discrimination policy in North Carolina which is tougher than the federal government’s. This also means that the law in North Carolina is not different when you go city to city."

nice spin, but he should hire a new PR firm.

now, anyone care to explain what this actually means?? "establishes a statewide anti-discrimination policy in North Carolina which is tougher than the federal government’s"

ETA: this one is wrong already lol

13. Will this bill affect North Carolina’s ability to create or recruit jobs?

Answer: This bill does not affect companies in North Carolina. North Carolina was one of the top states to do business in the country before this law was passed, and preventing Charlotte’s bathroom ordinance from going into effect on April 1 won’t change that.

I have been to many different gyms, bathrooms, pools, spas, in several different states, and haven't seen anyone naked. Where are all of theses bathrooms and gyms where women are hanging out exposed?

IF the reason is to stop people peeping, then why not just enforce the voyeurism laws?

Since you object so strongly, tell us what this means to you.

I think the bill would have made special provisions for a special group of people without regard to the rest of the population. That's not quite fair, is it?

I specifically asked what that language actually means. Are we supposed to just take the Governor's word for it? the answer provided was an outline or a summary. It had no actual meaning.

if you can't answer the question, then don't reply.
