Last month North Carolina’s governor signed a law that not only prohibits transgender people from using restroom facilities that match their gender identity, but also bans anti-discrimination measures designed to protect LGBTQ people.

This law has cost North Carolina hundreds of jobs and a huge amount of revenue.

But the greatest impact has been on the health of transgender people. Since this law passed, calls to transgender suicide hotlines have doubled. Trans people already face alarming rates of harassment and violence because people want to force them to conform to commonly accepted gender norms. This move by McCrory is an open invitation to continue this kind of harassment under the guise of upholding the law.

Please take a moment to call Governor McCrory’s office using the number and sample script below and tell him “This law is dangerous and is endangering lives. Strike it down now.”

Hello, my name is ______. It’s ridiculous to assume I could know anyone’s gender just by looking at them, and it’s not my business anyway. Trans people using the bathroom poses no threat to anyone, but this law puts trans people in grave danger. It’s immoral and dangerous. End it now.
