…how many people are affected by the transgender issue in North Carolina.
Generally, the media reference (at least in The New York Times) has been to “transgender people.” LPR did notice, in a Times story May 11, the term “transgender girl.” Should we conclude this is someone who was not considered a girl at birth?

Btw – Is New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s ban on “non-essential travel” to North Carolina by New York State employees constitutional? Is Cuomo’s call consistent with the spirit of federalism that informs the Constitution? Isn’t Cuomo’s call a kind of barrier to interstate comity – and commerce?

Boycotts apparently are gathering…

…in reaction to the Republican National Convention. LPR has a hunch the anti-Trump boycott movement will continue and gain momentum if Trump wins the November 8 election, with the hysterical Never Trump Neo Aristocrats urging boycotts of for any state that casts its electoral votes for Donald J. Trump.
