Correction: I listed Max Frost as a "brand new" congressman because his statement included that he did not expect his first speech after being elected to be on this topic. He did say this, but I suppose he meant first speech after being RE-elected.
Story has been updated to change "brand new" to "second term" reflecting Rep Frost's previous term of service in the House.
“This bill doesn’t even come close to protecting women and girls in sports. In fact, it puts all women and girls in danger of sexual abuse.”
After years of Republican after Republican getting caught up in sexual violence against women and girls, this *precisely* seems to be the end goal here: impunity for any and all Republican creeps and pervs.
Living in Florida is like being a very sickly canary in a GOP coal mine. We get all the extremism first, and it’s literally destroying lives. But I am awfully proud of my representative Maxwell Frost!
Sarah McBride has it all. She's brilliant, caring, deeply evolved as a human being. Perhaps one day we will speak of her service in Congress without mentioning her sexual orientation.
Trump's reign of terror will be short lived. He wants to step on too many toes. I predict the first to turn on him will be his billionaire buddies. You see, he's not really one of them, they know it, he knows it.
I was worried (still am) that Congress would take the wrong lesson from Nov. 5 and throw trans people under the bus, but this gives me some hope, especially since only two Democrats voted for this, and the guy who made the comments about trans kids in sports wasn't one of them.

We need more Representatives like Rep. Frost.
Just the young ones…..we need more of them.
The cesspool of X is something I hate wading in now, but damn, Rep. Frost is not playing around.

Brb. Need a Silkwood shower.
This makes me ill. As a former (not champion or even really good) competitive swimmer, I can see the inherent creepiness of this. NO. JUST NO.

Nice to read this CD, thank you.
So glad to see the Democrats taking on the Republican bullies.

Fascism always starts like this. First they came for the transgenders...Eventually, fascism always fails
Crossing my fingers.
The GOP is always looking for ways to be pedos without limits. Not that that stopped guys like Gaetz before.
60 votes needed to break a filibuster
Not for long. You heard it here first.
Agree. It’s a matter of weeks before they rescind the rule.
Where is the MAGA MUST EAT ITSELF Bill? "In Committee" I suppose?
