Montana’s House speaker on Thursday refused to allow a transgender lawmaker to speak about bills on the House floor until she apologizes for saying lawmakers would have “blood on their hands” if they supported a bill to ban gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth, the lawmaker said.
Rep. Zooey Zephyr, who was deliberately misgendered by a conservative group of lawmakers demanding her censure after Tuesday’s comments, said she will not apologize, creating a standoff between the first-term state lawmaker and Republican legislative leaders.
This, based on what pb knows, is how trans people engage in constructive dialog when they're not getting their way. "Christian theocrats." "Fascistic and disgusting." Sound familiar? How to win friends and influence people, eh?
And, misgendered. I don't think they took it as quite the insult she imagined. Baha baha.
