Montana state lawmakers vote down transgender bathroom ban rule for state Capitol; 3 GOP lawmakers vote alongside Democrats

Several Montana Republicans joined Democrats on Tuesday to block a measure that would have barred transgender lawmakers from using the state Capitol bathrooms that aligned with their gender identities.

The proposed measure would have banned Rep. Zooey Zephyr, a transgender Democratic lawmaker who was reelected in November, from using the women’s bathroom outside Montana’s House and Senate chambers.

Three Republicans joined Democrats in voting against it, characterizing it as a rule that would not add value to their work

Zephyr told The Washington Post on Wednesday that she was grateful to her GOP colleagues who voted “no.” She said she has a “good working relationship” with them, adding that their votes against the measure showed they were “able to recognize this for the distraction that it is.”

This is just giving them a battleground. The victim card will be played to the Nth degree and women and girls will be thrown under the bus.

They aren't victims, they are men pretending to be women.

The only reason why MEN are allowed in women's restrooms in the first place, is because of male privilege

I stand with REAL biological women.
