[Magdalen] U.S. Warns North Carolina That Transgender Bill Violates Civil Rights Laws - The New York Times

[James Handsfield]

While I’m sure there will be a court battle, the effect of this finding has more immediate effect on NC.  Because it was a finding of a civil rights violation, NC is in immediate danger of losing all federal government funding of state/federal partnerships.  I don’t know if this includes Medicaid or other more direct assistance programs.

Alleluia!  Christ is risen!

That would need to be tested in federal court but ut us a warning of the possibility of tjis sort of attitude being challenged in court. I am sure there are lawyers who would be willing to take a pro bono brief from someone like Chris Mosier who is worried about competing in NC for a place on the USA Olympic Team.  This is not someone previously regarded as male who is switching to female and who might be regarded as having an unfair advantage over those regarded as female from birth.  Chris is switching the other way which brings no competitive advantage.
