Transgender Montana lawmaker reacts to calls for censure
EVERYONE can see how ridiculous that is!!!
@William Royer If it has an apple 🍎 it has a banana 🍌
@Mom Tur A free country yes, but not free to attack children
Then why are you mentioning it? Makes no sense.
@James Ryan an in the beginning of time and though out history until now there wasn’t Frankenstein doctors playing God! Yes live an let live, leave the kids alone they will grow up figure it out themselves an choose when they are adults!
Transgender laws? Who’s regulating those laws? mental hospital?
You are seriously comparing this to knee surgery??? Guess what, minor couldn’t get knee replacement surgery without a parent’s consent. What more needs to be said?
Most uneducated comment so far
Parents do consent. If you missed that obvious fact, your ignorance is remarkable.
A lot.
You don’t need to say anything at all, you can just be quiet. Codifying your vile rhetoric as criminal hate speech will help to encourage you to do so anyway.
@Cat Williamson finally someone with some sense. Nicely said. 👍
So basically they were saying that we’re punishing you because you’re not allowed to say anything that might make us question our position.
@Ryan Lush I hope you’re not aparent
@Brent Roscoeapparently
@Kelly Patterson and one more thing the side of hat is trying to do some thing will never give bad info but I guess you don’t know that history will not be kind to those damage children
@Brent Roscoe The statement kids know what is best for them Is absurd from the inside out .
@Freedom Half Off kind of my thoughts
In sane countries each and every “lawmaker” involved in these actions would be tossed straight into prison by the (independent) public prosecutor … simple as that.
I Like your emails , My pleasure .😀
I had a Good day My Dear and how about you ?
My gratitude , Thank you : )
Luckily, minors don’t get to make medical decisions for themselves, so the adults can do the right thing and let them grow naturally.
@TheVerbalAssassin ⚔️ Yes. So maybe your side should stop defending child marriage or trying to force children to give birth if assaulted.
@Centurion97 also they just passed child labor laws. Also Ali Alexander was just caught soliciting to underage boys. He is a far right activist.
What did we expect from the “dont tell me what to do with the child in my body, let me tell you what to do with your childs body” party?
It’s amazing and sad watching the world go insane and accepting it as normal.
You said it in a nutshell!
Subversion, demoralization, normalization, extinction.
are you trying to be witty??
@Z O Yeah, extinction for them!
I hereby demand ever one address me as Your Highness. Mr Tapper?
This is like a really funny TV show! 😅
My gratitude , Thank you : )
A really bad one. It’s a irl cosplay. A guy cosplaying as a girl… and failing miserably I might add.
It IS a really funny TV show 😂
Im hoping for new SouthPark episodes.
It’s more like a horror movie. 👹👺💩💩
According to a Washington post survey 😂 keep kids safe. No more child mutilation.
From the classic Bud Light adds (Real Men of Genious) Here’s to you my man who thought of a way to legally walk around naked in a woman’s locker room. You are doing what every man in college could only dream of and all you had to do is wear a pink Speedo. (Real Men of Genious).
I had forgotten about those ads! 😆 thanks for reminding me, they did have some good commercials before the nutwings got hold of the company.
Guys going through puberty will DO ANYTHING TO GET INSIDE THAT SNATCH INCLUDING LYING OR WAREING A DRESS!
We’re forcing children to go through puberty now? That’s outrageous!
yes
How dare we allow children to go though a natural part of life. Kids might grow up and realize who they truly are. We can’t be having and of that.
When these kids are transgender…it is torture!! Forcing a kid whom doesn’t conform to their birth gender or sexuality is cohersion. If Teddy understands that he is actually a girl and Suzy is attracted to Betty, you will be punishing them for
becoming who they naturally understand themselves to be
Is it? Everything seems to be an outrage, or horrific. How many times have you made a comment his week with horrific?
Kids are vournable to people like this😊
I always take such joy in observing how consistently incapable republicans are in spelling. It’s like a divine little perk of the hateful rot inside your souls shinning through to any and all as a warning to not follow your example.
@Benjamin Hartley I bet he knows the difference between a male and female, and understands doing this to kids is insane.
God bless the governor of Idaho
Jake’s question content initially is also excruciating to listen to…
The law should be prosecuting those people for their unhealthy obsession with underage kids ❤️
Taking “not feeling seen” to a new level. Her comment made sense to me. Suicide is already quite high in the trans community, partly because of bullying and harassment, partly because of the reactions of their family/friends, and partly because if forced to undergo puberty, every day the hormones flooding into their bodies are turning them into someone that feels less and less like themselves, and every change that happens in their sexual development is creating the necessity for more invasive, difficult, and expensive procedures later. Whose hands are the blood of those children on, if not the people proposing and supporting these bills? As an aside, while I appreciate very much Jake Tapper covering this issue and scheduling this interview, his questions made me think that he has bought into some of the disinformation about what surgeries are being done at what ages, with what frequency, and with what results.
