Becoming Liam: The journey of a transgender man and NC's HB2

Liam Johns, who was born a girland began transitioning to a man in 2009, says he was attached in a women's restroom when he was 19 and "looked like a 13-year-old boy." Today, with a beard, mustache and a deeper voice, he chooses to use the men's restroom even though his birth certificate says he's a girl. This photo illustrates what HB2 would have Liam do - use the women's bathroom, which could create a problem similar to the one it purports to prevent.
