Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene hangs sign mocking congressional neighbor's transgender pride flag in Twitter spat

Greene hung a sign facing Rep. Marie Newman's office that says, "There are TWO genders: MALE & FEMALE. 'Trust The Science.'”

WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene placed a sign outside her office mocking a House neighbor after the lawmaker, Marie Newman, hung a transgender pride flag next to her door in protest over the Georgia Republican's opposition to a LGBTQ rights bill.

Newman, D-Ill., who has a transgender daughter, recorded a video of herself putting up the flag Wednesday after she said Greene, whose office is across the hall, tried to block the Equality Act on the House floor.

Greene “tried to block the Equality Act because she believes prohibiting discrimination against trans Americans is ‘disgusting, immoral, and evil,’” Newman wrote in the tweet. “Thought we’d put up our Transgender flag so she can look at it every time she opens her door.”

In response, Greene tweeted her own video showing her putting up a large sign that says, “There are TWO genders: MALE & FEMALE. “Trust The Science.””

Because any other language I would use a probably get me banned. But it's like...ughhhhh. You can change chromosomes through drugs. I'm still a gender. I'm a female. Honestly I don't live in Georgia but I'm gonna do everything in my power to get her bigoted racist ass out of office.

Which is wholly inappropriate no matter whom you are calling the slur.

Is it okay to call Diamond and Silk and Herman Cain the nword? As per your logic, it is, since they are RWNJ (well, Cain was(, and suck. Can we call Milo a f*g? That should be okay, too especially if I do it, since I'm LGBT.

because it gets a lot of pushback, but quite honestly, there are times when it is the most fitting. I don't use it often, but when I have, I've used it for men as well women who I deem deserving.

In Greene's case, no other word is quite as fitting. I might not say it out loud or type it, but it is what I'm saying in my head where it won't offend anyone.

I have to say that when I see or hear her, that is often the first word that pops in my head. She earned it.

Like so many words, it has taken on numerous meanings over the years and as such, it can evoke different reactions from people. I have found that no matter what you say, chances are you will offend someone, somewhere. You certainly can't please everyone.

Don't worry, her hateful, rotten to her core ass, will not be able to run from nor pull a gun or rifle out to stop the bad things that the universe is going to rain down upon her. It's bad enough that she's an un American, gun-toting secessionist piece of filth who tried to totally dismiss the votes of African-Americans because she seems as if she was fully behind that tRump-stunt that'll cost us $30 million dollars to repair at the US Capitol on January 6th, 2021, but I'll never forget that video of how her raggedy ass ran down and mocked then minor and gun control activist/Stoneman Douglas massacre survivor David Hogg on the streets. She also stays in other people's personal business too much, and she mocks mask wearing. tRump's old, sorry ass is about to get HIS, and that she beast will get HERS sooner rather than later.

There is one gendered slur I can't abide and would react to negatively. (Hint: It starts with the letter c.) That one makes sick.

As for bitch, I do not use that word lightly. I reserve it for extreme cases, and MTG is definitely extreme. I have no trouble calling someone a bitch when they have done as much to richly deserve it as she has.

Science says there are more than two genders. I’ve seen scientific articles that cite up to sixty four genders.

She should follow her own advice and trust the science.

I identify female because thats what I'm transitioning to. After that I'll be a pansexual transwoman. I know someone would lose their shit over me using that term

Especially their exiled Fuhrer, who was the biggest snowflake to ever exist, where even the slightest perceived insubordination would cause him to meltdown in fits of rage. They’re obsessed with “triggering the
Libs” because they are actually the ones that freak out over the dumbest shit.

Abuse the law to justify their religiously driven hatered.

They believe in an abusive god so they abuse people in the name of that shitty right wing infested sick religion.

Bigots are assholes justifying thier own hateful bullshit.

I'm a transgendered sexual alexigender furry.

There are a huge amount of genders out there.

Don't expect patriarchical religious abusive right wing narcissists to have any empathy or sense of right and wrong or relate to anyone they see as less than themselves.
