In response to a Charlotte, North Carolina, transgender nondiscrimination ordinance, state lawmakers drafted what is now famously known as House Bill 2. Charlotte's ordinance required businesses and other public facilities to allow transgender individuals to use the bathroom of their choice, and House Bill 2 effectively overturned it by prohibiting local governments from imposing inclusion‐oriented requirements on businesses. The bill also mandates that in public buildings, transgender individuals must use the bathroom that corresponds to the sex on their birth certificate, even if it contradicts their identity expression or how they present themselves.
