Dear New York Times, This allegedly respected Republican lawmaker is transphobic. Best, Retiring Guy

 


New York Time2/27/2021
Some respected Republican lawmakers reject charges that election proposals are bad-faith attempts to advance Republican power. “These are really big tweaks. I get that,” said State Senator Kathy Bernier, who heads an election committee in Wisconsin. “But we do this routinely every session.” Ms. Bernier said the party’s election-law bills, two of which would strengthen ID requirements for absentee ballots and limit ballot drop boxes to one per municipality, were honest efforts to make voting more secure.

Yup, she earned a lot of respect when signing up to promote a transphobic agenda!

Wisconsin Examiner, 3/3/2021
To kick-off March as Women’s History Month, three Republican lawmakers — Rep. Barb Dittrich (R-Oconomowoc), Rep. Janel Brandtjen (R-Menomonee Falls) and Sen. Kathy Bernier (R-Chippewa Falls) — introduced bills purporting to “protect women in sports” from men competing against them, putting them in physical jeopardy and creating an unfair advantage, as the legislators described it. News conference on sports participation by biological gender.   
What the two bills would do, counter Democrats, is to prevent transgender student athletes from participating in most school sports.
