Kansas Trans Toilet Debate Escalates Amid Legislative Crackdown

At the end of the American Century . . .

KANSAS TRANS TRASH TALK DOMINATES HEADLINES AMID CRACKDOWN ON HIGH SCHOOL GENDER RULES!!! 

Don't mistake any of this for advocacy on our part . . . Given that TKC has long assured that we think most high school sports are equally worthless and only help adults prolong or relive their youngster glory days. 

Accordingly . . .

Here's a quick summary of the drama that has garnered nationwide attention tonight . . .

Republican state Rep. Cheryl Helmer, 70, said in an interview that she was in the Statehouse with a mother and her young daughter and Byers a couple of months ago, and that the girl was frightened of Byers.

Helmer also said she tried to make a point when she mistakenly entered a men’s restroom in the House in early 2021. The men, she said, were surprised and upset, so she asked them how they would like it if a woman regularly used their restroom.

Pressed on the issue Monday evening, she said parents shouldn’t be allowed to “change” their child’s gender.

“You can’t lop a penis off and then expect, you know, a little boy to now live his life,” she said. “He'll be in regret for the rest of his life.”

Republican state Rep. Cheryl Helmer on Tuesday stood firmly by her comments in an email to a University of Kansas graduate student. She also decried what she called the “in your face” approach to promoting transgender rights by Democratic state Rep. Stephanie Byers, the first elected transgender Kansas lawmaker. Byers said its clear such comments are being made privately but it's shocking that they have been made openly.
