Republicans in Montana’s Legislature are attempting to censure Democrat Zooey Zephyr, Montana’s first and only openly transgender lawmaker. This comes after Zephyr delivered a searing condemnation Tuesday of a bill that would ban gender-affirming healthcare for youth, among other anti-trans measures.

Rep. Zooey Zephyr: “If you are forcing a trans child to go through puberty when they are trans, that is tantamount to torture. This body should be ashamed. … 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.”

The bill is expected to be passed and signed by Republican Governor Greg Gianforte.
