Montana state Rep. Zooey Zephyr (D) was named in Time magazine’s 2023 “TIME100 Next” list for her opposition against bills that restrict gender-affirming care, which gained her national recognition. In April, Zephyr was outspoken against a bill prohibiting gender-affirming medical and surgical care for minors in Montana, saying the bill’s supporters would have “blood on your hands.” The bill was one of a record-breaking number of anti-LGBTQ bills across the country in 2023, Time reported.
