'Trans Lives Matter' protesters occupy Oklahoma State Capitol: ‘This is our house!’
Republican governor says, 'send me a bill that bans all gender transition surgeries and hormone therapies on minors'
Hundreds of "Trans Lives Matter" protesters gathered at the Oklahoma state Capitol Monday to demonstrate against legislation that would restrict gender transition-related medical care.
Videos showed protesters chanting "this is our house," and "protect trans kids," and holding signs that read, "Protect trans rights" and "My body, my freedom," outside the Capitol building and inside the rotunda.
The protest took place during Gov. Kevin Stitt’s State of the State address, in which he called on the legislature to pass a law banning gender transition medical treatment for minors.
"Minors can’t vote, can’t purchase alcohol, can’t purchase cigarettes. We shouldn’t allow a minor to get a permanent gender-altering surgery in Oklahoma," the Republican governor said on the House floor, prompting a standing ovation from Republican lawmakers.
"That’s why I am calling on the Legislature to send me a bill that bans all gender transition surgeries and hormone therapies on minors in the state," he said. "As governor, I will never shy away from calling out right from wrong. I will not be intimidated by partisan interest groups or make decisions based on groupthink."
