A transgender Democrat legislator has warned Montana Republicans of “bloodshed” in response to their efforts to protect children.
Montana State Rep. Zooey Zephyr, a male who claims to be a woman, told GOP legislators they “should be ashamed” for protecting girls and boys from transgender ideology.
Montana Republicans voted in favor of legislation that will protect children from being put through life-altering sex change surgery and other transgender treatments.
Zephyr claims that protection legislation would “torture” teenagers who want to escape the normal course of puberty.
He then warned that Republicans’ efforts would cause “bloodshed.”
“This body should be ashamed,” Zephyr told the Republican-led Montana State Legislature in Helena.
“If you vote yes on this bill and yes on these amendments I hope the next time there’s an invocation, when you bow your heads in prayer, you see the blood on your hands.”

Republican legislators responded by calling for Zephyr to be censured over the indirect threat:
This kind of hateful rhetoric from an elected official is exactly why tragedies such as the Covenant Christian school shooting in Nashville occurred.
Combined with former Montana Supreme Court Justice Jim Nelson’s recent calls for “Jihad” and a “fight to the death,” there is unmistakable evidence of a desire for some to engage in violence over political beliefs.
This must stop.
Republican legislators in many states are passing laws to prevent transgender ideology from being pushed onto children.
Democrats across the country are promoting the ideology that seeks to suppress legal distinctions between the two complementary male and female sexes.
The suppression would give government officials and their political allies the power to manage the civic conflicts and personal damage that is caused by the suppression of knowledge about women and men.
The civic chaos also creates economic opportunities for medical companies.
In Montana, Republicans passed legislation saying that each person’s sex is determined by measurable biology, not feelings of “gender.”
The move also curbs the use of ‘transgender” medical treatments against children.
Zephyr’s attempt to intimidate Republicans with threats of violence is now part of a national trend.
That trend is being amplified by Democrat President Joe Biden’s White House:

The Montana threat comes as Democrats and their allies in the media continue to try to hide the motivations for the murder of six Christian Americans, including three children, in Nashville.
The manifesto of the shooter, a woman who claimed to be a transgender man, has still not been made public.
