Montana state lawmaker Zooey Zephyr, the openly transgender Democrat who was censured by state House Republicans last month, stopped to pose for a photo with members of the progressive caucus known as "The Squad" while visiting Washington, D.C., on Thursday, The Hill reports.
The Montana House, in which Republicans hold a supermajority, officially censured Zephyr last month after she rebuked lawmakers who voted in favor of legislation banning gender-transition care for minors. Citing disproportionately high rates of attempted suicide among transgender youth, Zephyr told lawmakers there would be "blood on your hands" for voting to pass the bill.
