Trans lawmaker receives support after being censured for speaking out by Montana Republicans

I need to introduce you to someone.

Republican “pro-life” Montana State Rep. Kerri Seekins-Crowe, who sponsored an anti-trans bill in the Montana legislature, gave a speech that essentially said she’d rather her own daughter be dead than be trans.

In her disgusting rant, Crowe makes herself out to be the victim by equating her daughter’s mental health struggles to manipulation.

Just earlier this week we had to listen to the infamously awful Marjorie Taylor Green telling a woman that she’s not a real mother because her kids weren’t “biological.” Well, I’m pretty damn sure Crowe’s poor daughter would have loved the opportunity to be with an adopted loving mother instead of the one she was stuck with.

x Montana bill sponsor: I prefer my transgender daughter commit suicide rather than allow her to transition.

How do you argue with people this depraved?

Representative Ted Lieu weighed in by saying it’s not the government’s role to make personal decisions for families. Thank God, because who wants someone like this making your personal decisions?

This is the part that really struck me:

Someone once asked me, 'Wouldn't I just do anything to help save her?' And I really had to think and the answer was, 'No.'"

When I argue over gun safety after yet another school shooting that leaves dead children behind, I sometimes ask, “What if it was your child?” I see now that I might be wasting my time.

For some people, their hatred is more important than anything, even their child’s life.
