Montana GOP faces backlash for misgendering and silencing transgender lawmaker.

Republicans in Montana called for the censure of State Representative Zooey Zephyr, the first transgender member of the Legislature, after she condemned a bill that would ban transition care for transgender minors. The bill was passed by the Republican-controlled House, along with several other measures targeting transgender people. Governor Greg Gianforte is expected to sign the bill into law. Montana is the latest state with a Republican-controlled legislature to pass bills prohibiting gender-affirming care for young people.
