http://www.towleroad.com/2016/04/unc-republicans/A transgender student at the University of North Carolina says she was attacked by the UNC Republicans after approaching them to try and help repeal anti-LGBT law HB2.
Instead, she received hateful messages, which she posted to Reddit (see below).
uncrepublicansSaid the UNC Republicans when told that the bill doesnt protect women but is an attack on the trans community:
If you are a male then you have no business in the womens room. We believe that transgenderism is a mental illness and should be treated, not encouraged.

(23,926 posts)to renew my membership with the explanation that I can no longer support my alma mater until such time as the state of North Carolina abandons its efforts to systematically dehumanize and discriminate against a group if its citizens.
I also sent a copy of my correspondence to Governor McRory.

(65,616 posts)Well I do think we can find conclusive evidence that republicanism is not only a mental illness, but a cancer on society. Whenever it attaches itself to a host's brain, it causes all kinds of anti-social behavior including murder and mayhem.

(5,493 posts)- Whole conversation takes place within 4 minutes
- The person who supposedly sent the screenshot responded immediately - in the same minute that the original comment was posted. That's very fishy.
- The poster has a transgender flag as an avatar to further hammer in the point that the sender is transgender
- The UNC Republicans page responds to the post immediately
- The UNC Republicans came out saying that this was fake. Most of Reddit also thinks this is fake.
- Poster went on to post in r/Conservative about how Liberals try to force others to conform to their ideology, and then deleted it when others found it.
Going to have to call this out as an obvious fake. Don't believe everything you read on the internet - This seems to be nothing more than a troll.
