Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has re-introduced a bill to ban gender-affirming care for minors. Greene first introduced the bill during the last Congress but it failed in the then Democrat-controlled house.
Greene’s HR 8731 is called the “Protect Children’s Innocence Act”.
Yesterday, she gave a speech explaining why she felt the need to protect the “sacred identity of children.” She did so next to her beloved big sign declaring there are only two genders: male and female. The sign normally hangs outside her office in Congress.
Something must be done to protect the sacred identity of children. Because God made all of us male and female in his image.

My bill, the Protect Children’s Innocence Act, will do that.

Online, many criticized her proposed legislation and her Biblical arguments.
How about we take this to the next level?

Greene’s assertion that God made “male and female” in “his” image prompted particular confusion.
“His” image?

Interesting
"Because God made all of us male and female in his image." Uh, does this mean God had a female side/appearance too, because otherwise how could He/She do that? Or is this an argument that He/She/They was/is nonbinary? Please advise, o noted theologian Margarine Trailer Spleen.

So, who’s image was used for hermaphrodites? Those intersex individuals? pic.twitter.com/SH5C8b7oeg

So God made you a female in "his" image? So you are a female in the image of a male god?

So you are both male and female?
I just struck a big point for the LBGTQ.
You're welcome.
Testosterone
Eyebrows were also raised about Greene’s warning about what happens when a “female” takes testosterone. She says they become aggressive, horny and prone to mood swings.
Is she speaking from experience?

Greene’s bill would seek to ban puberty blockers for minors, hormone therapy, and surgery “for the purpose of changing the body of such individual to correspond to a sex that differs from their biological sex.” It would also ban schools from offering “instruction on gender-affirming care.”
“There’s nothing affirming about lying to children that they can change their gender,” Greene said yesterday. She also blasted drag queens who perform in front of children as “groomers”.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is getting harassed. Man she previously harassed offers condolences.
Greene says she was harassed by a woman and her son in a DC restaurant on Monday night.
Most medical associations agree that gender-affirming care to treat gender dysphoria is safe, effective and desirable. Age limits are recommended for certain forms of medical intervention, including hormones and surgery.
Greene’s bill would also penalize healthcare providers that offer such care to minors. It echoes legislation already passed in several states, including Utah and Arkansas.
A similar law was signed last week by Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves. ACLU was one of the organizations to blast the state legislation. It called it, “a devastating development for transgender youth in Mississippi and heartbreaking for all of us who love and support them. This care was already difficult to access across the state for transgender people of any age, but this law shuts the door on best-practice medical care and puts politics between parents, their children, and their doctors.”

Mister P
She’s stupid enough to believe all that hogwash about a god creating everyone.
abfab
Stupid would be an understatement.
There are at least 50 Creation Stories, yes? Someone please inform, there must be more. Some of them are so interesting. The one she is clinging to is less so. Jesus was born 2023 years ago, so they say. Time for a new God family, Marge. He’s old.
I don’t see things turning out well for this woman. My crystal ball says she will be hit by a bus before they get the chance to throw under one. It’s a favored activitity of the right.

… and everyone’s confused, your headline claims. I’m not. I know that Moronie Greene is the biggest idiot in Congress, so nothing that she blurts out surprises me anymore, let alone confuses me. Yes, the discussion about whether God might be binary is festive, but consider the source here. Consider the source.
abfab
Hyperbole. Boilerplate Queerty.

Has she read the Bible?
abfab
She masterbates to it.

Obviously, MTG has way too much testosterone in “her” system.
abfab
She thinks she is ”owning the libs” by using the trust the science slogan. A true bimbo.
Mr. Stadnick
There is no one in the seats while she is speaking, If it wasn’t for CSPAN no one would hear her drivel,
abfab
People run in the opposite direction when they see her coming.
robertkalin
She worries about the sexualization of minors? Um, has she been to a “Toddlers and Tiara” pageant?
abfab
I bet she knows exactly what happened to Jon Benet Ramsey.
Kangol2
She’s the Whore of Babylon so she should shut her trap about sexualizing anything or anyone! Keep your husbands away from this predator, ladies!
Fname Optional Lname
When oh when will she crawl back to the hot dog stand she came from>?
scotty
wtf is her problem with just letting shit be? stupid cow.
trell
Trust the Science?
But she’s a GOP republican. They don’t have a good track record with trusting science.
But if we’re going down the bible route, I wonder what she has to say about the Golden Calf or worshiping False Prophets?
NVM – I don’t know why I’m wasting time on this bastard amalgamation of Janice from the Muppets and Helen Lovejoy.
OhHellNo
That partially explains why she looks like Dog the Bounty Hunter.
abfab
LOL……….I actually think she’s transitioning.

We don’t even allow minors to vote but we’re okay with them undergoing permanent surgical procedures like top surgery and irreversible hormone replacement therapies? Let’s wait for them to reach mental maturity first before they make life-altering decisions.

If God is making women like Marjorie Taylor Greene in his own image, I might suggest He not be quite so liberal with the male hormones (and I’d wager He knocked a little bit of “Equine Design” into Marge’s test tube during the making process…)
