TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — LGBTQ rights advocates called Tuesday for a Kansas state lawmaker to be formally censured after she publicly said she didn’t want to share the women’s restrooms at the Statehouse with a transgender colleague.
The Kansas House’s top Republican called GOP state Rep. Cheryl Helmer’s comments “unfortunate” and Democrats condemned them. The state’s leading LGBTQ rights lobbyist saw “a new level of toxic bigotry” in Helmer’s emailed remarks to a University of Kansas student and subsequent interviews about Democratic state Rep. Stephanie Byers.
Helmer stood firmly by her comments while defending a bill she co-sponsored that would make it a felony for doctors to provide hormones or do gender transition surgery for children under 18. She also said she worried about the safety of young children who visit the Statehouse and decried what she called an “in your face” approach to promoting transgender rights from Byers, the state’s first elected transgender lawmaker.
The 70-year-old Republican lawmaker also said she tried to make a point when she mistakenly entered a men’s restroom in the House in early 2021. The men, she said, were surprised and upset, so she asked them how they would like it if a woman regularly used their restroom. Pressed on the issue Monday evening, she said parents shouldn’t be allowed to “change” their child’s gender.
“You can’t lop a penis off and then expect, you know, a little boy to now live his life,” she said. “He’ll be in regret for the rest of his life.”

Rinos in charge of Kansas looks like.
AP loves reporting these fag freak stories. If it’s not fag homo crap, then glowbull warming. If not glowbull warming, it’s race.
These people are dying to get purged.
In today’s favored Marxist cultural environment there is good
murder, racism, rioting, looting, arson, and bullying.
I’m so old I remember when feminists loudly said we should protect women from male sexual deviants.
I’ll be damn....a sane legislator!!!
Among what group?
Communists are always crying wolf about something...
IAC, hearty applause here...
They should make her the Governor
People say very basic common sense things and they are somehow bigots
I bet even 90% of Democrat voters would agree that women shouldn’t have to share a restroom with men, just because the man thinks he’s a woman.
Democrat voters will go along with the woke crap, and use the special pronouns - it’s fine when it’s all talk and virtue signaling.
But when a man comes into the ladies room while they are there, I bet they will be singing a different tune - just like they do with everything else.
The rules apply to us, not them.
I’m waiting for MTG to pull that stunt.
My big strong brother-in-law refuses to shop at Target because they now have unisex bathrooms. I still shop there, like the local store a lot, but refuse to use the loo. Unixex dressing rooms are fine. I don’t try on anything, buy what I like and if it doesn’t fit, return it the next day. Luckily store is close, pass it on way to gym, library, and/or post office.
Veto!

Adults don’t have to put up like students with a Guy in the ladies room showing off his MANSCAPING and more!
Nothing new under the sun.
Pagan cultures have always made eunuchs of a subset of boys.
Sadly, this is NOT a Babylon Bee article.
So why not identify the “top Republican”, AP?
Was it Ron Ryckman the speaker or was it Daniel Hawkins the majority leader? One of them is a fag lover or maybe both are.
Whatever, that is some Republican party you people in Kansas have, they can’t even support their own members.

Here it is in just three words: It's all politics.
