Montana House Republicans ban transgender lawmaker from House chamber for rest of session

Montana House Republicans have banned Rep. Zooey Zephyr from the House chamber for the remainder of the legislative session. Zephyr, who is a transgender woman, was banned after she refused to follow the dress code for women, which requires women to wear skirts or dresses. The ban has been criticized by LGBTQ+ advocates and Democrats, who say it is discriminatory and violates Zephyr's rights.
