Plenty of instances have been recorded of demeaning questions and rhetoric that transgender people meet when they show up to statehouses to testify against new bills targeting their rights.
The push has included efforts in some states to restrict gender-affirming care for adults and proposed bans on drag shows that opponents have warned would also discriminate against transgender people.
“I had never been so publicly humiliated in my life,” Herzig told The Associated Press in an interview days later.“As a father of 4 daughters, I will do everything in my power to protect my children and the children of Arkansas, especially from the woke mob who intend to push their agenda and beliefs down our throats and destroy our families,” McKee’s statement said.
During the hearing, a lawmaker asked Avery if they were “gonna go through the procedure.” Since that exchange, Jackson said Avery hasn’t wanted to testify again before the Legislature.
