Democrats should kick the three transphobes who voted for MTG's bill out of the caucus - LGBTQ Nation

"Three Democrats crossed party lines yesterday to vote for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) bill to ban gender-affirming care for trans youth, and the party needs to kick them out. Reps. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), Vincente Gonzalez Jr (D-TX), and Don Davis (D-NC) all voted alongside 213 Republicans yesterday to pass Greene's anti-trans bill. If they had not voted for it, it would not have passed."

"The bill is extreme. It makes it a crime to provide safe and effective health care to trans youth (and only to trans youth! The same procedures for cis youth are exempted in Greene's bill), punishable with up to 10 years imprisonment. This includes the parents of trans kids, who are only trying to do what's best for their kids,"

Three Democrats — Reps. Henry Cuellar, Vincente Gonzalez Jr., and Don Davis — crossed party lines to join 213 Republicans in passing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill banning gender-affirming care for trans youth. The bill criminalizes providing safe and effective health care to trans youth, exempts comparable procedures for cis youth, and carries penalties up to ten years imprisonment, including possible punishment of parents. The measure is tied to a five-year GOP moral panic framed as political distraction, and common pro-ban arguments are described as pseudoscientific despite major medical organizations endorsing gender-affirming care.
