Janice Covington Allison Bathroom Selfie at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Government Center

Description

This photo is a selfie that I took in the bathroom at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Government Center which is another public building that I am not allowed to use the ladies room in. [Editor's Note: Allison is a long-time transgender activist. On February 29, she was ejected from a restroom at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Governmental Center after speaking at a public hearing on the nondiscrimination ordinance cited by state lawmakers as the inspiration for HB2. For more information, see this story in the Charlotte Observer: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politics-government/article12313151.html. Her work on protesting HB2 by using the womens' room in public buildings and businesses has been the subject of news coverage.
