RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Transgender rights take center stage in North Carolina again Wednesday as GOP supermajorities in the General Assembly attempt to override the governor’s vetoes of legislation banning gender-affirming health care for minors and limiting transgender participation in school sports.

The state House will hold the first of two votes Wednesday afternoon in a bid to enact the bills over Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s opposition. If House Republicans quickly muster the votes needed, the Senate might aim to complete the override with a decisive final vote Wednesday evening, the Senate leader’s office said.

The GOP holds veto-proof majorities in both chambers for the first time since 2018, affording Republicans a clear path to consider certain LGBTQ+ restrictions that had not previously gained traction in North Carolina. Initial votes indicate Cooper’s vetoes of both bills are likely to be overridden.

Gender affirming care...poisoning and mutilating children affirms gender which is fluidity. How absolutely sick our culture has become. Perversion of one of the most basic truths. Sabotaging God’s plan. Same as homosexulity, minor attraction, abortion. There is no longer safe sideline for good Christians. We either witness our God and stand for truth or we perish. I’m talking not just in a mortal sense I’m referring to our souls as well. Martyrs are going to be made by the millions. We are truly living in one of the most evil times in the history of mankind. Choose courageously to side with God.

Let’s hope they can do it. That’s why we sent them there.

Crap like this has got to stop and Roy-boy needs his butt handed to him again.

[Recompennation]

This crap is confusing and getting more so. Two negatives to make a positive. Who knows right from left anymore.
North Carolina’s Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper has vetoed the GOP supermajority North Carolina General Assemblies’ bill that banned gender-affirming health care for minors and limiting transgender participation in school sports. Now they must attempt to override??? I thing a recall would be more in line then fix it again.

Why is the Washington Times calling this a “transgender rights” issue? The truth is this is an attempt by science deniers like the NC governor and other Democrat party leaders to allow mentally confused people to be mutilated.

[ComputerGuy]

Transgender rights, my ass. Cooper gets his vetoes overridden on a regular basis. Let’s hope another one happens today.

[RandFan]

Would be a much needed win.

[MountainWalker]

If/when this country returns to its senses, I’d be fine with rounding up all the parents and doctors involved in these satanic acts and conducting summary executions.

[Socon-Econ]

Why does the Washington Times, purportedly an alternative to the Washington Post, call puberty blockers and body mutilation “gender affirming care” in its headline?

Corrected. Sigh. Even "conservative" news outlets fall in line and use the terms of the left. And that's part of the problem.

[OldGoatCPO]

Why go through a recall when we voted in a super-majority to deal with Cooper. By the time you get the signatures tallied and the recall is approved the 2024 Governors race will already be in full swing. Last session we lacked a super-majority and Cooper veto damn near every piece of legislation. When the new session began we were one vote shy of a super-majority, but Coopers intransigence drove a Democrat from a conservative district to switch parties.

Cooper will not budge on any gay related issue, they got him elected in the first place. But he is a dumbshit, there are other issues he could have negotiated with the legislature but refused. The legislature is, intentionally or not, taking on the really contentious issues before the next Governors race. That should leave the RATS to run on Bidenomics.😀

[RandFan]

They appear to be copying / swallowing the AP written (garbage) report.

They should be more diligent.

The GOP holds veto-proof majorities in both chambers for the first time since 2018,

If the GOP 'holds veto-proof majorities in both chambers', how in the hell did the bills get passed in the first place?

[KC Burke]

The bill is to stop the atrocity actions of mutilation. The Governor, a Democrat, vetoed it.

The confusing wording is because journalists are lying leftists.

[FLT-bird]

Stuff it down Cooper’s throat.

It never gets old. Do the same with school choice and constitutional carry.
