On Monday, the US Justice Department charged North Carolina's HB2, which prevents cities from passing anti-discrimination actions and bans transgender persons from using bathrooms for sex they identify themselves as, for violating civil rights protections for LGBT people. Now there are two people affected by the law have open up on why they believe North Carolina must change it.

According to TIME's interview with a lesbian woman, Kelly Trent and her wife were turned away by a fertility clinic after the Bathroom Bill passed. Trent claimed that she is a plaintiff in the lawsuit against McCrocy and other North Carolina leaders who supported the law.

She believes that no customer should be deprived of service from a civic business just for the reason that they are transgender. For her, there is no doubt that this was a case of prejudice among genders. By signing HB2 into law, the lawmakers told us that the North Caroliners like her is not welcome anymore in the state, Trent said.

Meanwhile, Joaquin Carcano identifies himself as a transgender man works as HIV Project Coordinator at UNC-Chapel Hill, explains how the bill could affect his work for supporting transgender people in the North Carolina also shared his piece with TIME.

He uses the men's room completely. But HB2 could deny him of his fundamental right. The bill opens the door for him to get fired from his job or kicked out of his home for simply being as he ii, which might also happen to the rest of the LGBT community members. A basic right such as this should not be the internal conflict it has become, Carcano said.
