Montana Republicans condemn and censure transgender lawmaker for speaking out against anti-trans legislation.

Montana Republicans have condemned the "hate-filled remarks" made by transgender State Rep. Zooey Zephyr during a debate about a bill that would ban gender-affirming care for minors. Zephyr accused the bill's supporters of being complicit in the deaths of transgender youths. Republican Speaker Matt Regier refused to allow Zephyr to express her thoughts on a bill that would put binary definitions of sex in the state code. Zephyr was also barred from speaking at Thursday and Friday sessions.
