Montana Republicans Push for Censure of Misgendered Lawmaker.

Conservative Republican lawmakers in Montana misgendered a transgender colleague while demanding that she be censured for language she used on the floor while speaking against a bill that would ban gender-affirming medical care for children. The Montana Freedom Caucus posted its demand on Twitter, arguing that Democratic Rep. Zooey Zephyr should be punished “for trying to shame the Montana legislative body and by using inappropriate and uncalled-for language during a floor debate.” The exchange is an example of the polarization seen in legislatures around the country as they debate bills affecting the transgender community.
