Marjorie Taylor Greene: Pete and Chasten Buttigieg should “stay out of girls’ bathrooms”

Business Insider.The Buttigiegs have recently become fodder for socially conservative right-wingers, who have been incensed at the couple’s decision to adopt twins and by the Secretary’s decision to use parental leave to take care of the newborns shortly after they we’re born. Greene also attacked Lia Thomas, the UPenn swimmer who is the NCAA women’s 500-yard freestyle champion, deadnaming Thomas and echoing comments made by other conservatives that Thomas should not have been allowed to compete. “And old Lia Thomas? Lia is going to have to remember his name is William, and he needs to go back to men’s swimming because we’re going to kick the biological men out of women’s sports,” Greene said.Greene has been a vocal critic of transgender rights, often misgendering transgender individuals and attacking their family members, as she did with fellow Congresswoman Marie Newman’s (D-Ill.) daughter. After Greene railed against the Equality Act — a measure to prohibit discrimination against LGBTQ people in various facets of life — as “an attack on God’s creation,” Newman hung up a transgender flag outside her office, prompting Greene to hang up a sign reading: “There are two genders: Male & Female.

Biden stands up for LGBTQ equality in State of Union address
low approval ratings — even among people who previously voted for him in 2020 — Biden attempted to use his speech as a reset for his presidency, decrying Russia and its power-hungry President Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine while offering praise and support for the Ukrainian resistance, and seeking to clarify his (and by extension, his party’s) positions on various domestic issues by calling for programs and bills that would make Americans’ lives easier, fight inflation, get the country back to “normal” following a two-year interruption caused by the pandemic, and calling on states and cities to deal with rising crime rates by fully funding police using money appropriated by the American Rescue Plan.But as he went through the litany of various domestic concerns, Biden seemingly hit on many of the issues and promises he had run on as a candidate for president, even though much of his priorities have been killed in the U.S. Senate, due to the inability to gain 60 votes to overcome the silent filibuster (exacerbated by the refusal of traditionalists to change Senate rules to either eliminate or reduce the 60-vote threshold, or require the minority to actively filibuster pieces of legislation, thereby calling attention to their opposition) as well as political posturing by conservative Democrats like Sens.
