Transgender woman shares photo from inside a North Carolina women's restroom despite prohibition

Transgender woman Sarah McBride shared an Instagram photo on Thursday from inside a women’s restroom in North Carolina, where the recent passage of House Bill 2 prohibits transgender people from using the restroom that matches their sexual identity rather than the one on their birth certificate.


The LGBT rights activist who made headlines as president of her college’s student body when she came out as transgender in 2012, wrote:



"Here I am using a women's restroom in North Carolina that I'm technically barred from being in.
They say I'm a pervert.
They say I'm a man dressed as a woman.
They say I'm a threat to their children.
They say I'm confused.
They say I'm dangerous.
And they say accepting me as the person I have fought my life to be seen as reflects the downfall of a once great nation.

I'm just a person. We are all just people. Trying to pee in peace. Trying to live our lives as fully and authentically as possible. Barring me from this restroom doesn't help anyone. And allowing me to continue to use this bathroom - just without fear of discrimination and harassment - doesn't hurt anyoneStop this. We are good people"

“Different people, different hustles, different tribes, different locations. In the quest for survival, some got stuck in a box, some allowed themselves to be intimidated, some are kings in their comfort zones, some stopped by the way side and decided to give up while some have hope & faith that with determination, resilience, hardwork and patience, they can change the World making it a better place for many generations to come. It all starts from these streets.

This street anthem is dedicated to every hustler inspired by all the positives DAGRIN lived for – The Ghetto Dreamz and so much more.

Prince was found in an elevator at his home...

According to the Sheriff's department investigating Prince's death, he was found in an elevator at his Paisley Park home in Minnesota. They said they performed CPR, but were unable to revive him. He was pronounced dead on the scene. The Sheriff's Office told TMZ that they are now investigating the circumstances of Prince's death but do not suspect any foul play.

The 57 year old singer was epileptic. He had a health scare on his private jet on Friday last week and the next day after leaving the hospital, he had a party and invited strangers to his party and everyone said he seemed fine. See last photo taken of him after the cut..




From TMZ

Prince hit up a local pharmacy hours before he died -- the 4th time he visited this week -- indicating his health was far worse than the simple flu. TMZ obtained this photo of Prince leaving a Walgreens near his home in Minnesota Wednesday night at around 7 PM.
Our sources tell us Prince had frequented the Walgreens for years -- but last night, people at the store were concerned because he looked much more frail and nervous than usual.
As we previously reported, Prince's team told the media he was suffering from the flu. It seemed odd, because his private jet had to make an emergency landing in Moline, Illinois last Friday, just 48 minutes from his home.
Prince was hospitalized ... but was discharged after only a few hours. Our sources in Moline told us at the time they felt Prince left the hospital way too soon because he was "not doing well" and needed further medical care.
On Saturday, the day after he was released from the hospital, Prince took the stage at a dance party near his home and curiously said, "Wait a few days before you waste any prayers."
