wearing a blazer and pants, unironically quoted the Deuteronomy 22:5, saying, “A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor man put on a woman’s garments. For all who do so are an abomination.”
Suddenly, all I can think of is:
It’s funny how the Republican would-be-theocrats manage to live in a state of perpetual irony, though.

This is not the forum for your political advocacy…
Let’s not pretend this is just a problem with religious people, though. There are plenty of people who see themselves as progressive and fully secular who are on board with these direct attacks on the humanity of trans folks.

She also sponsored a creationism bill–
House Bill 1701 by Rep. Mary Bentley, R-Perryville, would allow K-12 public school teachers to teach the biblical story of creationism as a theory for how the Earth came to exist. Teachers would not be required to teach creationism, which the Book of Genesis describes as happening in six days, culminating in the creation of humanity. It passed on a voice vote. Bentley said many teachers had requested such legislation. She said the Founding Fathers mentioned the Creator in the Declaration of Independence and allowed creation to be taught in classrooms. She said the odds of the Earth arising naturally are so remote that students are being done a disservice by not learning the creation story.
And here we see an excellent example of when and how it is correct to reference what a woman is wearing during a public news event.
