The issue of what restroom and locker room transgender people can use is back in the spotlight following a decision by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District.

The school district says it's not in defiance of House Bill 2, but not everyone sees it that way.

The school board adopted a policy that allows transgender students to use the restroom and locker room that aligns with their gender identity.

They say the policy has been in the works for a year and simply follows a 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that says transgender students must be allowed to use restrooms based on the gender they identify with, not the one on their birth certificate.

That is opposite of what North Carolina's HB2 law says.

Governor McCrory's office reacted to the school decision, calling it a radical change, saying they should have waited for the courts to make a decision on HB2 instead of purposely breaking state law.
