It Will Never Happen!

The Republicans have placed all their bets against us, now way are they going to reverse that!

200+ lawmakers demand Speaker Mike Johnson end anti-trans rhetoric in Congress

“Transgender people deserve government officials who will lift them up, not attack them simply because of who they are,” the members of Congress wrote.

Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives are demanding that Speaker Mike Johnson, the Louisiana Republican, intervene after what they describe as a surge of anti-transgender rhetoric inside the chamber, warning that Republican members have repeatedly violated House rules by using slurs and promoting conspiratorial claims about transgender Americans during official proceedings.

In a letter sent Tuesday, 213 Democrats, including the entire party leadership, told Johnson that his failure to enforce basic standards of conduct has allowed dehumanizing attacks to become routine on the House floor.

“We write to you to strongly condemn the rise in anti-transgender rhetoric, including from members of Congress,” the lawmakers wrote, urging Johnson to ensure members of Congress are following rules of decorum and not using their platforms to demonize and scapegoat transgender people.

It will never happen, the Republicans have too much invested in bashing our heads. Can you imagine the Republicans coming out and singing Kumbaya with us? Never happen! And if it did I think people would be very wary of anything that the Republicans did like that.

Democrats argue that the rhetoric mirrors a broader political strategy and contributes to real-world harm. “This language, coupled with the rising number of legislative and administrative attacks we have seen against the transgender community, is taking a real toll on the transgender community with many members fearing for their safety,” the letter states, pointing to 463 reported hate-crime incidents motivated by gender identity bias in 2024, an undercount, they note, due to chronic gaps in law enforcement reporting.

“Transgender people are part of every community,” the lawmakers wrote. “They are veterans, teachers, and doctors. They are parents, children, and siblings. They are neighbors and friends. They are Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. Attacks on the transgender community are attacks on every community. Transgender people deserve government officials who will lift them up, not attack them simply because of who they are.”

The Republicans probably give "hi fives" after passing an anti-trans bill.
