Greene Leads Fight Against Transgender Agenda
Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has once again caused chaos in the media and Democratic circles. Her recent post featuring the message “There is no such thing as a trans child” has reignited the national debate over transgender policies affecting minors.
Greene’s legislative efforts on the topic include a bill that would make it a felony to perform gender transition procedures on minors. This aligns with President Trump’s Executive Order titled “PROTECTING CHILDREN FROM CHEMICAL AND SURGICAL MUTILATION,” which opposes these irreversible medical interventions for children.
Clash With Democrats Over Equality Act
The controversy extends to Greene’s opposition to the Equality Act, which would extend federal civil rights protections to LGBTQ individuals. Democratic Representative Marie Newman, who has a transgender daughter, placed a transgender pride flag outside her office in response to Greene’s stance.
“As mothers, we all love and support our children. But your biological son does NOT belong in my daughters’ bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports teams,” Greene stated in response to Newman’s actions.
Greene further emphasized her position by displaying a sign outside her office reading “There are TWO genders: MALE & FEMALE. Trust the Science!” The move demonstrated her commitment to biological definitions of sex despite progressive pushback.
Trump Agrees with MTG
President Donald Trump’s policies have aligned closely with Greene’s stance on protecting children from gender transition procedures. His recent Executive Order established that “it is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another.”
Greene expressed optimism about advancing her legislation under the new Republican House majority. “It couldn’t pass last Congress because, like I said, Nancy Pelosi was the Speaker of the House, and she doesn’t believe in gender at all. But we have a new Speaker in our Republican majority in the House of Representatives,” Greene stated.
