'Little girls have been raped by these supposedly transgenders': Kansas lawmaker's unsubstantiated reason for not sharing Capitol bathroom with 'huge' trans colleague

A Kansas state lawmaker has come under fire for writing in an email to a constituent that she does not 'appreciate' sharing the Capitol bathroom with a transgender colleague.

She later confirmed to the Topeka Capital-Journal that she was referencing fellow Rep. Stephanie Byers, a Democrat from Wichita, who is the first transgender lawmaker in the state.

'It is quite uncomforting,' she continued in her email, before likening the situation to a recent time she accidentally entered the men's restroom. 'I have asked the men if they would like a woman in their restroom and they freaked out.'

Helmer also claimed - without evidence - in the email that 'our wee little girls in elementary and middle and high school are having to be exposed and many have been raped, sodomized and beaten in the restrooms by these supposedly transgenders who may or may not be for real.'

That email has now been posted online by Brenan M. Riffel, the graduate student she replied to who identifies as transfeminine.

Byers has since said that this is the first time since she took office two years ago that a colleague made publicly derogatory remarks about her, telling the Capital-Journal that she regularly speaks to Helmer 'as we get out of our cars and take the elevator.

'And I mean, I'm not shocked by it.

Didn’t the famous Greek philosopher Brestocles formerly known as Testocles have something to say about this situation?

The left is allowing men who claim to be women to rape women, just as it allowed members of a certain violent middle eastern religion to rape women.

Political correctness trumps all.
