Montana is extremely lucky to have Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell standing up in front of openly transphobic lawmakers who wanted to pass a bill that would /take trans kids away from their parents./
Thank you to them, and to the Republicans who crossed the aisle. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/07/montana-anti-trans-bills-defeated

Thank you.
Let them be.
Sex change operation from the age of 18.
But that there are 27 people in that assembly that would vote to strip trans kids away from their families is abhorrent.
You’d have thought my kid was contagious with something deadly the way parents responded to them coming out.
The best way we can fight back is with truth, speaking from the heart.
It’s the trough from whence they feed.
They cannot erase us, ever.
We don’t dole out human & civil rights based on popularity. Get a grip.
Seriously, you need to have a long chat with yourself about why you are willing to sacrifice a group of people that you think “don’t matter”. You are seriously fucked up.
1. wrong politically. Acting like Republican Lite never helps Dems.
2. A disgusting and empty person
Non-binary is bullshit. Trans males in female sports is bullshit. Pushing trans in children is child abuse. All this must stop.
It's opening doors for Republicans.
Makes sense. Nothing screams Democrat like bending over for Republicans
Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds
Abducting children because they are trans is transphobia.
People’s unwillingness to examine themselves and be kind is the main problem.
what i said was: if you're too much of a bitch to hear a label like -phobic and still have a talk about it, then be careful you don't melt when the sun comes up you weak loser
I can't imagine support of this can be driven by anything other than fear, disgust, or the enjoyment of having power/control over others. I can't think of gentler way to refer to people who are driven by those things to ruin others.
If we agree tabula rasa then people are convinced into a position, and it makes little sense to me that they can't be convinced out of it.
What should be call them? I don't think name-calling however justified is in aid of changing their minds.
Let parents parent!
I know I speak for Howell as well when I say that we're both incredibly proud to represent Missoula. And we're both working on a lot of positive wins as well as stopping as much of the bad as we can.
I wonder What they would do to the children?

This may be a good time to re-evaluate just how much trans athletes actually matter in your life.
Is it as important now as it was in October?
Attacking a marginalized group is despicable.
This proposed legislation was so evil and depraved. This win was huge, but also horrid that we needed to fight it at all.
You are an inspiration.
Or Dem leaders, tbh.
Thanks for selling out trans kids in the meantime, Newscum @governor.ca.gov

Anyways. Thank you always, Hank, for shining a light.
I will never understand how the Dem party machine in its most stalwart states gives us these feckless losers.

The idea of legislating against them is fundamentally insane.
The answer is in the question
Block and move on
Getting the surgery (still with me?) will require a person to rely on the medication for the rest of their life. Thought we were against big corporations?
You're just exposing your ignorance
So, since you're against using medication for life should I, a diabetic, stop taking the diabetes medication I will be on life?
Trans kids should be allowed to transition because it's good for their mental health. That's the end of the argument
Why would big pharma care? Its cheap to make hormones and the trans population is tiny. Hardly a market worth exploiting
Youre a sheep lol
It's literally the reason MAGAs are killing science in our country.
Scientists have done enough. The rest is up to us.
Thus the impasse
I feel very helpless right now, so I understand why it's easy to blame others. I have no idea what to do beyond speaking up right now.
Montana is about freedom. It’s in the landscape.
