Montana House Votes to Discipline Transgender Lawmaker

The Montana House of Representatives took the extraordinary step of blocking a transgender lawmaker from the House floor for the remainder of the legislative session on Wednesday, after an escalating standoff over her ability to speak in the House had led to heated protests and arrests on Monday and the abrupt cancellation of Tuesday’s session.

The vote was 68 to 32 in the Republican-controlled chamber. The barred lawmaker, Rep. Zooey Zephyr, a Democrat, will still be allowed to cast votes during the remainder of the session, which concludes on May 5, but must do so remotely.

Zephyr had made impassioned comments during debate over a bill that would prohibit hormone treatments and surgical care for transgender minors. The bill has since been sent to Gov. Greg Gianforte, a Republican, who has indicated that he will sign it.
