Gov. Winsome Sears refers to transgender Senator as ‘sir’ on the floor, and all hell breaks loose
American Wire ^ | February 27, 2024 | Frieda Powers

Virginia Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears spoke to the legislature about “respect and dignity” after a state senator walked out of the chamber during a session.

That senator was Democrat Danica A. Roem, 39, who became the first transgender member of the House of Delegates upon being elected in 2017.

Roem’s exit came after being referred to as “sir” by Earle-Sears during an exchange about the number of votes needed to pass a new bill.

“Madame President, how many votes would it take to pass this bill with the emergency clause?” Roem is heard asking Earle-Sears who was presiding over the session in video clips posted to social media.

“That would be four-fifths, Senator,” Earle-Sears responded in the debate over House Bill 592.

When Roem tried to clarify the exact number, Earle-Sears replied, “Yes sir, that would be 32.”

The senator did not add further comment but could be seen walking out of the chamber, prompting Democrat Senator Scott Surovell to call for a recess.

According to The Progress-Index, a newspaper out of Petersburg, Va.:

After two recesses and her initial refusal to apologize, Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears eventually said she was sorry, but she did not specifically say that to Sen. Danica Roem, D-Prince William County. Instead, she looked at each section of the chamber and said, “I apologize.”

“I understand Senator Roem is upset,” Earle-Sears said after a recess.

“This pronoun stuff has to be stopped.”

Not sure how that happens when the majority of people play along with the fantasy.

Some ankle-grabbing fag wants to hit Winsome Sears with his purse. Big deal.

People’s whose “preferred pronouns” mean more to them than the concerns of their constituents should not be in public office. We have rich, white Wine Moms to thank for these creatures being anywhere near power.

I saw a great meme that said something like:

I didn’t mis-gender you; you mis-gendered yourself, and I refuse to participate in your silly game.

That's "all hell breaking loose" ??

I expected at least to see some broken furniture, attacks with folding chairs like the SK Parliament, leftist Dems losing their minds, etc.

We got gypped!

It gets stopped by calling males “men”, females “women”, ignoring the howling and crying of the delusional, and ...

MOST OF ALL ...

NOT apologizing.

Freedom is the freedom to say that a freak is a freak.

Instead of “Sir”, would “Yesiree Bob” have been acceptable?

What a big baby HE is.

See, if he was REALLY a woman, HE wouldn’t care what he was called.

And at age 50, HE ** WILL ** be getting a PROSTATE exam on HIS prostate.

And “ma’am” isn’t acceptable either.

It will be stopped...as soon as people refuse to comply.

Refusal to knuckle under works for a lot of things. :-)
