Nice to see a Southern state official fighting for us, rather than against us.

The page seems to no longer be up. What was the synopsis of this news?

Yes, you're right, Jody Ann. That's too bad. Anyway, the North Carolina governor wrote a letter or brief outlining his opposition to the bill giving protections to trans school kids in regards to restroom use. The AG took him to task for using the law to further his political career and for not standing up for what is right, rather than politically expedient. It was rather refreshing.

Hhmm....Interesting topic.

You know though, in the last week or so this is the second post I've seen that expresses pleasant surprise that a particular demographic might be supportive of an agenda. This post expresses pleasant surprise that a Southern state official might be supportive of TG/TS bathroom issues. The previous post expressed pleasant surprise that rural folks (in Maine, as I recall) might be supportive of human rights.

I replied to the latter post (i.e., dealing with rural folks supporting human rights), "Maybe...though... a growing rural/urban divide is not a bad thing?"

Perhaps, I can similarly state w/ re: to this post (i.e., that a Southern official could be supportive), that perhaps a encouraging a greater regional divide is not a bad thing.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am truly surprised by these posts that I've referenced. I'm shocked that Northeastern and West Coast, educated/intellectual, liberal/progressive residents would promote such divisive-isms. Well, maybe I'm not....After all when I registered for this website, I didn't profile myself as being of the Rural Southwest; I guess I subconsciously feared that prejudice/discrimination might attend my participation in this forum.

Perhaps this will be my last post, assuming it is approved by a moderator as all my previous posts have been. Since I'm taking exception to posts by a moderator & an an administrator, I doubt that I will continue to be welcome here. Shame too, I kinda liked this forum.

Of course it has been approved, Tejana. We do not, and never have, censored members for any reason other than clear violations of the site rules. Disagreeing with another member, a Moderator or an Administrator is not a violation of any rule.

I think there is sound reason to express surprise when government officials of certain states or regions are supportive/tolerant of trans folk and legislation designed to protect our rights. It is based on the many, many examples of the opposite that you can find in this forum. I and others have also posted many articles in which we did get support, either from expected sources or unexpected ones.

I live in Memphis Tennessee and I too am surprised that this state official is actually speaking up for the Trans* community. Considering how most places typically are in the south, I don't think that it is discriminatory in any way to acknowledge how it is. At the same time, I am here working to change how it is in my area.

Than continue to hang out here! It's good to speak up. But please don't throw the baby away with the dirty bath water. You can have a place here too, you can speak your mind. We try to avoid personal attacks, but some days the fur flies. There is a wonderful diversity of opinions here. Hug. JodyAnn

The posts I am most suspicious of are the ones that agree with me!! With this politician, as with any, if we shake hands, I will be looking to see I get all my fingers back..
