Montana Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte signed a bill on Friday banning puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and transgender surgeries for minors.
Montana trans lawmaker rips colleagues who support bill banning transgender medical treatments for minors
Democrat Rep. Zooey Zephyr was censured on Wednesday by House Republicans in response to a testimony delivered on April 18 claiming GOP lawmakers who support the measure would have blood on their hands. The legislation bans puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and transgender surgeries for children. Similar bills have been pushed in other GOP-led states across the country.
Republican lawmakers accused Zephyr of presenting"hate-filled testimony" during the April 18 testimony. They initially responded to Zephyr's statements on the Floor by turning off her microphone. Republican Speaker Matt Regier also later refused to acknowledge Zephyr's request to speak on a separate bill to include a binary definition of male and female in the state code.
