A member of the Montana House of Representatives who claims to be Transgender will not be permitted to speak on the House floor until he apologizes for comments he made during the discussion of a bill to ban irreversible gender surgeries for children in the state.
Democratic Rep. Zooey Zephyr expressed opposition to a bill that would prevent minors from undergoing surgeries or from taking hormones.
The bill, SB 99, will also ban doctors from prescribing children puberty blockers.
If it becomes law, the bill will also set strict legal definitions for who classifies as both male and female.
In the bill, a female is classified as someone with XX chromosomes while a male is someone with XY chromosomes.
As Montana lawmakers discussed an amendment to the bill Tuesday, Zephyr attacked his Republican colleagues.
During the attack, the far-left Democrat insulted a prayer that began the day’s floor session.
“The only thing I will say is if you vote ‘yes’ on this bill and ‘yes’ on these amendments, I hope the next time there’s an invocation when you bow your heads in prayer, you see the blood on your hands,” Zephyr said.
