Yet another of these, only this time it's not a manufactured racist attack, but a whole new growth industry.

Some predicted it would only be a matter of time before someone challenged North Carolina’s HB2 law concerning transgender bathrooms. That day is now here. Alexis Adams, a male who has transitioned to female, was allegedly escorted out of the women’s restroom by security at the Durham Transit Center after claiming a janitor confronted him and told him to use the men’s restroom.

Last week, Adams told WTVD News how the incident affected him, saying, “I couldn’t think. I couldn’t speak. I was speechless … It was embarrassing. I was outed in front of everybody.” Adams claimed he felt helpless, “I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t fight it. I couldn’t tell them you’re wrong because it is the law,” he said.

However, newly released footage is telling a different story. In fact, local police investigating the claims told the press they were unable to corroborate Adams’ story.

Footage shows Adams entering the women’s restroom. The video then shows a janitor entering the restroom, as well. Adams exits the restroom, leaves the building, and walks down the street with a man who was apparently waiting for him. There was no confrontation with security. There was no perceived embarrassment of Adams by any bystanders, and no display of emotion was noted on security footage. Adams simply entered the restroom, then exited the building.

While there may have been some kind of confrontation between the janitor and Adams, neither the police, nor the Transit Authority have been able to confirm, after interviewing employees, anything Adams said of the incident is factual.

WTVD News Reporter Tim Pulliam confronted Adams with the footage. “You told us security was called and police escorted you out of the restroom. But we don’t see that in the video,” Pulliam said. Adams hesitated, but stuck to the story telling Pulliam, “I can’t … I guess you just had to be there to witness it. Security did ask me to leave the premises. They might not have dragged me out of the bathroom, but they were there.”

I recommend watching the video. It's only about 2 minutes long and it's amusing to watch how Adams (always referred to as a woman) reacts when shown the video.
