Including a transgender intern for Triad City Beat:
Carollo asked Fitzgerald how she thought transgender people who have physically transitioned yet have not updated their birth certificates should handle the bathroom dilemma created by HB 2. “I think the law offers them the opportunity to update their birth certificate once they have sex-reassignment surgery,” Fitzgerald said.
Carollo quickly personalized the question in a way Fitzgerald might not have anticipated. “I haven’t had my birth certificate updated, but I don’t have a penis anymore,” she said. “Should I be allowed to use the women’s bathroom?”
“I think you are allowed to apply for a new birth certificate so that you can,” Fitzgerald replied.
Definitely a bigoted deer-in-the-headlights moment for Tami, who simply could not (or would not) grasp the irony of asking someone to wait for three months before peeing. They should have waited for her to chug a Grande Latte and then kept her busy while her bladder went into Defcon 2. And then slowly poured out a water bottle on the sidewalk...You're right, I'm getting way too much satisfaction out of contemplating torture.
