On April 14, retired Missouri teacher Nedra Jeffress, of Independence, wrote a letter to state Rep. Chuck Basye, the Rocheport Republican who is pushing hardest to ban transgender girls from school sports.
“I’m wondering if there is data supporting the need for bills regulating this in Missouri or if this (is) a solution in search of a problem,” Jeffress wrote. “As an educator who has worked at the middle school and high school level in Missouri, I know how hard it is for transgender students to be accepted by peers, parents, churches and some teachers. If they are able to participate on an athletic team, they may find acceptance important to their well-being. I hope you would sponsor bills that support positive mental health for each citizen of the state of Missouri instead of proposing bills that attack a population already at risk. Thank you for your time,” she said in closing.
The next morning, she received this far less respectful reply:
“Nedra, Do your own research. I don’t care about your feelings nor do I care about your resume."
“Bottom line, my intent is to keep women’s/girl’s sports for the female gender."
“If a person was born with a penis, that individual doesn’t belong in sports designed solely for females."
“Now go ahead and have your meltdown and/or temper tantrum. Remember, Let’s Go Brandon!!”
Was this a parody, or a prank? Even with vitriol in politics and in everyday life increasingly not just tolerated but rewarded, would any elected official answer so rudely?
We emailed Basye, asking if he had really responded this way to a constituent, and if so, why.

She's still in there doing damage to middle schoolers. What is a 'middle school graduation coach' anyway?
Never heard of any such thing as a “middle school graduation coach” when i finished middle school & we were none the worse for it. In fact we never had a lot of the garbage that is considered so important nowadays & just creates further confusion for so many students. I think we were much better adjusted as a result.

Yeah, I kinda agree.
“It’s taken decades for girls/women’s sports to get fans to show up and cheer for them. All this transgender business will do is trigger less fan participation.”
It could produce more fan participation, but not for the right reasons.
middle school graduation coach
Help the students decide what gender they’ll be going into high school?
I remember when “graduate” was something you did at the end of your 12th year of primary school or at the end of 4th year of college. Now kids “graduate” from 1st grade, 2nd grade etc
Underrated comment. You can see even here at FR how so many ninnies get the vapors over swear words, as if real life is rated G.
Oh no, someone was rude to our enemy! Where’s my fainting couch?
So what?
I am past caring what liberals think and it’s time we stopped pussy footing around to be “nice”.
Nice is killing us.

Niceness is killing us.
Yes just like Trump’s refreshing rudeness and he hardly ever apologized.
They are trying to destroy America’s future by perverting and grooming our children into wickedness. That is the hill to die on! Rudeness is allowed!
Bingo...especially when the left won’t extend the same courtesy to people who disagree with them. In fact, they’re counting on conservatives to prostrate themselves in front of the liberal mob, who will then proceed to dox them, get them fired and make their lives a living hell.
No more Mr. Nice Guy (or Girl)....
There is no such thing as a transgender. They are male and female. Period. But People are believing this bullshit that they are. As Josef Goebbels said, Shout a lie loud enough and often enough and people will believe it.
For all the Rinos that think his statement was RUDE!
His response was short, sweet and to the point.
Rude is forcing young girls to compete against some queer boy in sports and forcing young girls to share rest rooms with queer boys.
All of this happens because of weak minded adults that don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings.
Are you one of those that did not like President Trump’s mean tweets?
