"Decorum flew entirely out the window Monday, as #Arkansas senators insulted, attacked and silenced transgender people and their supporters who’d shown up at the Capitol in hopes of stopping yet another bill targeting LGBTQ+ youth.

Republican lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee, all of them white men, compared gender-affirming care to frontal lobotomies and child abuse. They dismissed testimony from doctors and therapists, and suggested lawmakers are the ones who know best when it comes to medical decisions. Freshman Sen. #MattMcKee (R-Pearcy) made it all quite personal when he asked a transgender pharmacist who came to testify against the bill if she has a penis."

@MistressPrime Missed opportunity to ask "do you?"

But not surprised that Republicans in Arkansas can be fucking disgusting. I'm from there originally, and yeah that's just the way it is in the south.
