A transgender perspective on NC sports, healthcare bills
Manage episode 366881542 series 1347144
Bills restricting transgender sports participation and access to healthcare are nearing final passage at the North Carolina legislature, but none of the 170 lawmakers who will decide their fate are transgender themselves. Transgender advocate and Iraq War veteran Vivian Taylor joins WUNC Capitol Bureau Chief Colin Campbell to discuss her perspective on what the legislation will mean for trans North Carolinians. She also talks about how the current national political climate on transgender issues compares to what North Carolina saw in the wake of the House Bill 2 “bathroom bill” controversy. And she offers her recommendation on a place worth visiting in her home county of Stanly.
