Haley, I am not sure if you can help me or not. I am a Cis woman in Spartanburg. I have been married to a United States Marine for 8 wonderful years. We have two amazing children. Two years ago my spouse came out as transgender. It was something we figured out together. Through love, prayer, and a lot of patience we are still together. We attended therapy and have done tons of research and joined support groups.I am well educated on what it means to be transgender. It isn't a choice, much like being gay ISNT a choice. The brain and body do not always sync, this is something that happens in the womb. 50% of trans people commit suicide. So with those statics I could have a dead husband or a happy wife. Happy wife, happy Life! So here is my concern. Last week for example. My local grocery store's woman's bathroom is out of order. I had 9 kids with me and 2 other female adults. Of course, one child has to pee, they all do! So what to do. We WOMEN took the children into the men's bathroom. I am a Natural born woman. Am I infringing on men by being in the men's bathroom with a bunch of kids that need to pee? Does that make me a pedophile? I would hope not, No decent mother lets her toddler go into a bathroom alone not only for safety reasons but to make sure they don't leave a huge mess in there! I have a four year old son that loves urinals. So I take him to the men's bathroom ANYTIME we are out in public. I am not being a pervert, I am being a mom. My partner respects the law and goes the "Correct" bathroom. However, as my partners transition progresses, SHE might not make it out of that mens bathroom alive. That is a legitmate fear for my family. I hope this bathroom bill doesn't pass. It is harmful to your LGBTQ community. And harmful to families Cis or not.
