To that, Todd asked if transgender humans should not apprehend the aforementioned affectionate of privacy.
"Do you wish anyone who identifies as a woman, built-in on their bearing affidavit as a man, [who] may attending like a woman, traveling into a men's bathroom?" Todd asked. "Is that fair to them?"
McCrory didn't acknowledgment that one.
