"As the House is set to vote on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth, she is lashing out at a fellow Republican House member for allegedly trying to water down her bill. "WTF is Chip Roy doing?????" she posted to X, referring to Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX). "And this guy wants to be attorney general of Texas but refuses to protect children??!!!""
"She was referring to her "Protect Children's Innocence Act," a bill that would ban gender-affirming care for trans minors and make accessing such care more difficult for trans adults. She has been trying to move forward with the legislation for years, but even though Republicans control the House, her party's leadership has been loath to give the bill a vote."
"Greene wrote on X that Roy introduced an amendment to her bill that would only make it ban gender-affirming care at "facilities that receive federal funding" and not all facilities. She then said that Roy was trying to protect California's pro-trans policies, a searing insult in MAGA circles since California and Gov. Gavin Newsom are often held up as a bogeyman when it comes to trans rights issues."
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accused Rep. Chip Roy of attempting to water down the Protect Children's Innocence Act, which would ban gender-affirming care for trans minors and restrict access for trans adults. Greene posted angry messages on X and secured a promised floor vote by trading a vote on the NDAA. Republicans hold a narrow House majority, Democrats plan unified opposition, and a few Republican defections could defeat the measure. Roy proposed an amendment to limit the ban to facilities receiving federal funding. Greene framed the amendment as protecting California's pro-trans policies and Gov. Gavin Newsom.
