Trans Virginia Lawmaker Called ‘Sir,’ Marches Out
28th February 2024
A Virginia state senator stormed out of the chamber after being misgendered as “sir” by the lieutenant governor in a confrontation that caused the Virginia legislature to go into recess twice, the The Daily Mail reported Tuesday.
In video footage of the exchange, Sen. Danica Roem, who is transgender and a Democrat, can be heard asking: “Madame President, how many votes would it take to pass this bill with the emergency clause?”
Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, a Republican replied, “Yes, sir, that would be 32,” at which point Roem marched out of the room.
‘Misgendering’ is one of those slanted political phrases that assumes what it ought to have to prove. Arguably, the person doing the ‘misgendering’ is the delusional ‘trans’ person.
I must say that, if I were assured that ‘misgendering’ a ‘trans’ lawmaker would force them to leave, I’d be tempted to do it all the time. Think of it as evolution in action.
