During a visit to lobby legislators on transgender issues, Senator Carden Summers (R) knelt down and told a child he would protect her. When he learned she was trans, he backed away.
When asked if he would make her go to a boy's bathroom, he then allegedly backed away, saying, "You're attacking me," turned around, and walked off quickly.
Another bill, Senate Bill 88, which would enact policies to out transgender youth to their parents, was recently passed through committee while senators only allowed people who supported the bill to speak.
Real normal and generally mature way for a 66 year old man to be acting.
(Then again, we did just have a 57 year old Oklahoma politician try to push a bill mandating the use of county resources to pester hypothetical middle- and high-schoolers for the sake of a dumb joke)
