Nick Mollberg, a Texas-born software engineer, recently testified before Congress and achieved internet fame through a viral speech opposing House Bill 229, which aimed to redefine genders in Texas law. Mollberg's impassioned remarks condemned the bill for invalidating the existence of trans and gender-diverse individuals. His speech went viral, gaining attention from celebrities like Pedro Pascal and George Takei, marking a significant moment not only for him but in the ongoing fight for trans rights. Nick reflects on the unexpected response to his testimony, emphasizing its moral righteousness.
What's wild for me is, like, I'm not used to being internet famous. I've never gone viral before. I'm just like, you know, holy cr*p, like I just did what I thought was morally right, I did not expect it to blow up or anything like that.
I called them cowards... I criticize the legislation as bigoted, highlighting concerns that the bill could lead to increased discrimination and marginalization of the transgender community.
