Gay Missouri Democrat confronts GOP lawmaker in emotional speech over anti-trans bill

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I listened to him on TV & he really gave him hell.

..."During a debate in the state House chamber on Thursday, the Democrat referenced his colleague’s family and specifically Basye’s brother Scott, who was afraid to talk to him about coming out as gay.

“I would have been afraid to tell you too,” Mackey said.

“Because of stuff like this... this is the legislation you want to put forward.”...

To those supporting men participating in female sports. Do you have daughters who were hoping for an athletic scholarship? Who trained for years as a female because they are just that female. Then have to compete with males who may have trained just as long as a male. Then decide they want to compete as a female is fair? Suddenly, as an HS senior or as a college athlete, when they can't cut it like a man, they decide they want to dominate female sports. Really? Why doesn't the woke crew want trans Ppl to participate earlier? Or better yet, stop gender bias and have open sports play just as human beings, no gender bias! Or is that crazy? Who would want that? Maybe just the woke crew? Doesn't the military have different physical standards for females and males? And isn't gender anatomy why the military has two bars/standards? Follow the science. Isn't that what the woke Ppl were saying regarding Covid. It wasn't natural science, now was it? It was something new political science, a way to control the Ppl.
