And prior to laws like they placed in Charlotte, both of those individuals could, and likely did, use the restrooms you were indicating they should be using (men's room for the first person, women's room for the second person).
On the flip side, because of the ridiculously broad and purely thought out language of the Charlotte law, you could have people like this:
Using the ladies room and people like this:
Using the men's room. Or people like this:
Using either
Why? Because the law was stupidly and excessively broad, with some of those who advocating it debasing the notion of transgenderism into literally just a "feeling".
I would put $100 dollars down that both of those individuals you posted pictures of are individuals who have undergone some kind of legitimate medical procedure in an effort to transition; be it surgical, pharmaceutical, or psychological. They are both likely individuals who have been, or would be, clinically diagnosed as transgendered and have taken legitimate steps to actively and permanently transition themselves to permanently living as their new gender.
That is not the standard set, or made necessary, by the charlotte law.
I always find the posting of pictures argument to be idiotic, because the very PREMISE of why you'd post such pictures highlights the issues both sides are making and yet missing; that people simply want to be comfortable.
Yes, it'd be uncomfortable if the runway model you posted was wondering around in the men's room. Why? Because no matter what they "identify" as, outwardly the rational reaction to someone seeing them is to think "hey, it's a woman in the men's room". And whether people like, or think we should move beyond, the fact our society has ingrained in us that bathrooms are not unisex...that's the reality of our society at this time. So when someone who appears to not be a man is in the mens room, or not appears to be a woman in the woman's room, it can reasonably make people uncomfortable. Indeed, that is the very basis as to how posts like yours...going "Do you think THIS person belongs in a mens room?!"...are supposed to work.
But the problem is, laws like Charlotte's did not actually coincide with that notion; it flew in the face of it. It was not simply dealing with legitimately transitioning individuals who are actively living their life as another gender; it was broadly stated to such a degree that literally anyone could conceivably make the claim. That's bad law, and the only reason to create the law in such a broad fashion is, in part, to force this wedge issue. To take it a step beyond support for "transgendered" and to push into this realm of gender fluidity.
