NC Governor Won’t Release Birth Certificate After Report Says Gender On Birth Certificate Was Blank

A spokesman for North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory said the governor would not release his birth certificate in response to a report that said his gender was left blank on his birth certificate when he was born nearly sixty years ago.

“The governor’s birth certificate is a private and not a political matter,” I.M. Flack, McCrory’s press secretary, said Monday.


McCrory also refused to answer questions about his birth certificate as he campaigned for re-election. Nevertheless, he continued to defend the state’s HB2 law that requires transgender people to use bathrooms responding to the gender on their birth certificate and not the gender they identify with.

--

Tru Mendacity, a North Carolina blogger, published McCrory’s birth certificate on his website on August 23. It included details of McCrory’s birth, such his birthdate, October 17, 1956, and his birthplace, Columbus, Ohio. McCrory’s gender, however, was left blank.

1. This leaves the governor with no place to go.

That's the (intended) law!

[Hortensis]

[awoke_in_2003]

15. I tried hard to forget

and it worked, until now

[Dem2]

5. Lol

Yep

[Dr Rise]

20. Awwww ... that's funny

[Emilybemily]

28. That was my first thought too!

😀

[Native]

31. My first thought as well. Can't believe that was over 20 years ago!

[GWC58]

32. I think I'll refer

to him as Gov. Anal passage, just to be, ya know, politically correct.

[MineralMan]

7. He's going to be out of luck when he needs to go, I guess.

8. No peeing in the aisle, sir governor. n/t

9. demands that McCrory use unisex public restrooms

"Charity Fairness, a LGBT activist, demanded that McCrory use unisex public restrooms until he could prove he belonged in a men’s restroom."

10. God I love the Hypocrisy

Republicants are so transparent with their bigotry

[3catwoman3]

11. Oh, so NOW...

...birth certificates are a private matter, are they? Hypocritical jerks.

What a bunch of malarkey.

[appal_jack]

17. This. k&r, nt

[bullimiami]

13. someone should follow him with a camera until he uses a public restroom.

then challenge him that they have reason to believe he is not using the restroom of the sex that is stated on his birth certificate.

[jmowreader]

14. How do they enforce this law?

Do they have a little machine aw the entrance to the John? You go up to it, swab the inside of your mouth, drop the swab in a slot, and an arrow lights up to tell you which one to go in?

Or do they have a Junk Inspector?
"Nope, sorry, that vagina doesn't look quite real, you have to go to the men's room."
'What do you mean? That vagina is every bit as real as the damage Pat McCrory is doing to this state's reputation.'
"Men's room."
(Thirty seconds later...)
"What the fuck are you doing sending my 14-year-old daughter into the men's room?"
'His 'vagina' isn't real.'
"It's as real as the broken nose I'm fixin to give you."

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. Hoohoo inspectors

[sinkingfeeling]

16. But isn't he the guy that wants to see Trans people's birth certificates?

[tblue37]

18. This is hilarious:

“The governor’s birth certificate is a private and not a political matter,” I.M. Flack, McCrory’s press secretary, said Monday.

Did this guy publicly denounce the birther nonsense the GOP leadership encouraged against Obama? (I bet not.)

[Ford_Prefect]

21. No, he rather hinted that it might be true, but hasn't repeated it.

He's a clueless as they come about the real world all of us inhabit. He's a lightweight mentally who seems to have no idea that gravity applies to everyone on the planet and is more ruthless than Karl Rove.

Without question every word he speaks in public is scripted for him and approved if not written by that vile toad Art Pope.

[Dr Rise]

19. Come onnnnn

are ... you ... serious?!
Don't tell me he's an hermaphrodite ... or something ...

[Ford_Prefect]

23. Spineless jellyfish perhaps? Or something even stranger from the darker side of Harry Potter novels?

There are many here in North Carolina who are convinced he's not human. He seems to have absolutely no empathy or other identifiable aspects of human feeling and can only express emotion via scripted dialog.


Of course it is possible he's a USR NS-5 robot pretending to be human, which would explain a great many things he's said and done.

[aeroman]

22. You just can't make this shit up sometimes.

The GOP are just walking talking mock targets. If it wasn't so serious it would almost be funny. (Well okay, it's kind of funny)

[Initech]

24. He should have bought Ha Ha insurance!

[Iggo]

25. BWAAAAAAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[AllyCat]

26. What is he hiding?

[GoDawgs]

29. Ha! serves him right for goin' off half cocked! nt

[Mr. Evil]

30. Soooooooo... If Governor McCrory has no defined gender, that could

leave open the possibility that they didn't have protocols in place at the time of his birth to put an "H" in the gender slot. Hermaphrodite maybe?

[Danascot]

33. Sorry people,

much as I'd love this to be true, it's satire. (The goofy names give it away).

34. That should have been obvious after reaching the first name after McCrory's.
