The insistence that people with penises be allowed to use the girls bathrooms in North Carolina despite what a majority of people in North Carolina wanted helped flip the state to Trump. The militant transgenders motivated Trump supporters everywhere.
shareThere were a lot of things motivating Trump voters, but I don't think many of them chose who to vote for because of Clinton's views on transgender rights. What makes you think that they did?
And while he flip-flopped on the issue later, Trump said at one point that he believes transgender persons should be able to use the bathroom they feel comfortable with.

It's an unrealistic law anyway. 1. Where do you think transgender ppl have been using the restroom for centuries? All the sudden there is PANIC over "A penis being in the women's room" 2.HOW could you possibly enforce a law like this? Do a genital check at the door? A few butch women who were born female have been ejected from the women's restroom already b/c they didn't look GIRLY enough. 3.How come it's only focused on trans WOMEN? How come no one is complaining about transgender MEN being in the men's room? I don't hear anyone complaining, "OMG FREAK OUT FREAK OUT!! There is a vagina in the men's room!! The sky is falling!!!"
shareIf the bathroom bill was such a big selling point why didn't it keep Roy Cooper from winning governor. More people voted for him in North Carolina than they did for Secretary Clinton. People just didn't like Clinton.
