CWEB - A letter from Loretta Lynch. North Carolina native and one of the most qualified Attorney General in the history of United States Loretta Lynch at this afternoon's press conference: “Let me speak now directly to the people of the great state, the beautiful state, my home state of North Carolina. You have been told that this law protects vulnerable populations from harm. That is just not the case. What this law does is inflict further indignity for a population that has already suffered far more than its far share. This law provides no benefit to society, and all it does is harm innocent Americans." Lynch delivered impassioned remarks in favor of transgender people both in the suit and during her news conference. She compared HB2 to Jim Crow laws and same-sex marriage bans and said “none of us can stand by when a state enters the business of legislating identity.”
“We see you,” Lynch said directly to transgender people, “we stand with you; and we will do everything we can to protect you going forward.”
“An individual’s ‘sex’ consists of multiple factors, which may not always be in alignment. Among those factors are hormones, external genitalia, internal reproductive organs, chromosomes, and gender identity, which is an individual’s internal sense of being male or female,” the lawsuit said.
