Trans Teen’s Photo Goes Viral For Important Message About Bathroom Laws

When professional photographer Meg Bitton recently shared a portrait of a young client on Facebook, she wanted to prove a point, but she had no idea just how much attention the post would quickly gain.

As you can see in this shocking story about a mom who used costumes to try to make her own point about North Carolina’s controversial transgender bathroom laws, it’s a subject that has everyone talking – and quick to form their own opinions. While most parents were quick to agree with the “pirate mom’s” stance on how an eye patch and parrot doesn’t make her a pirate and therefore a dress shouldn’t automatically give a man rights to the women’s restroom, the parents of Bitton’s young client bring up a much more important topic.

“If this was YOUR daughter, would you be comfortable sending her into a men’s bathroom?” the post on Bitton’s Facebook page read. “Neither would I. Be fair. Be kind. Be empathetic. Treat others how you would like to be treated.” With it, she shared a portrait of 14-year-old transgender girl and public figure Corey Maison. Unsurprisingly, Bitton had to go on to explain to the Facebook community that this means Corey was born with male anatomy but identifies as female.

“Under the new laws, SHE would be forced to use the men’s room. Therefore, I would not be comfortable sending HER into the men’s room if she was my daughter,” Bitton wrote.

While so many are quick to fear the worst from trans adults using the restrooms assigned to them at birth, not enough people are thinking about the trans youth who will be forced to be put in such a terrifying and uncomfortable situation.

What do you think about this sweet young girl being forced to use the men’s room? How would you feel if she were your daughter?
