On Wednesday, Caitlyn Jenner used a women’s bathroom in Trump International Hotel. This may seem relatively obvious, considering she is a woman. But, in light of the controversial HB2 bill, this is major.
When Republican candidate Donald Trump was on The Today Show last week, he discussed the HB2 bill. (Quick reminder: This is the North Carolina bill that requires transgender people to use the bathroom that corresponds to their biological sex, not the gender they identify with.)
In the interview, Trump stated that “there has been so little trouble” with the way things are currently, there is no need to pass this so-called “bathroom bill.”
“So if Caitlyn Jenner were to walk into Trump Tower and want to use the bathroom, you would be fine with her using any bathroom she chooses?” anchor Matt Lauer asked.
To which Trump responded: “That is correct.”
So, Caitlyn Jenner decided to give it try. When she was in New York on Wednesday, she was looking for a trans-friendly bathroom, which she found in Trump International Hotel. In a video uploaded to Facebook, she is treated hospitably when walking into the building and asking for the ladies room.
After she walked out of the women’s bathroom, she thanked Trump and said, “By the way Ted, nobody got molested,” a comment directed at Senator Ted Cruz who is in favor of the HB2 bill.
Mic drop. Jenner out.
