Measure to ban trans Montana lawmaker Zooey Zephyr from women's bathroom fails [View all]

A measure to bar Montana Rep. Zooey Zephyr, the state’s first transgender legislator, from using the women’s restroom at the State Capitol failed to pass the House Rules Committee on Tuesday, with several Republicans voting against it.


“This particular action will have the effect of making people famous in the national news and will not contribute to the effective conduct of our business,” Bedey said before Tuesday’s vote. He added that restroom access wasn’t an issue for the female legislators he spoke with in the last legislative session.

I'm glad Bedey talked with women and realized that transgender women in the bathroom is not an issue with women. Because it's not. It has never been an issue.
