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.

You are a Mae sir, period. She is a woman, you will never be one.
Ever.
No one is under any obligation to pander to your delusions sir, period.
Danica Roem was elected by the dysfunctional voters of Manassas, Virginia which you may know as the place where the John Bobbitt incident happened.
Sounds like he had a Midol moment.
Nope....my pronouns are me/myself/I. So there...
An unattractive lady....

Mann Coulter dyed her hair?
Wish Trump would pick her, if she is willing to be VP instead of Noem.
The pronoun stuff is crap, but it acted liked a 5 year old and went off pouting to it’s safe space. These people have serious mental issues and need to grow up.
Never ever apologize to these nutballs.
Ever.

I don’t think even Trump would pick someone who has publicly stated that she cannot support him.
I didn’t know she had stated that. Disappointing.
—”An unattractive lady....”
You got that right!!!
This pronoun stuff has to be stopped.
Right and I just hate she felt she had to apologize. “It” might have resigned if she hadn’t......no loss
As usual, so=called republicans threw up their hands, wept, an0d begged for forgiveness...
This one-party communist political system has to be eliminated, ASAP...
Elections (swindles) will not do the job!
We really need to suppress all this trans nonsense once and for all.
Very disappointing. I heard it myself.
