Amid a debate about single-sex bathrooms, a transgender female lawmaker argued that transgender people are just as physically female as biological women.
Montana state Rep. Zooey Zephyr, a Democrat, argued that transgender people who identify as women are as valid biological women as genetic females. 'I literally just got out of meetings with members of Congress & used the bathroom on my way out,' the lawmaker wrote on X Wednesday afternoon. 'Trans women are women—full stop.
The lawmaker added in a following post, 'This rage-baiting is so detached from the day-to-day reality of being trans. It's obsessive and unhinged and an endless reminder that these folks have nothing to offer but fear and rage.'
