LOL, The Media And Social Media Lose Their Minds After Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears Calls A Tranny Senator Sir

Virginia State Senator Danica Roem left the legislative chamber abruptly on Monday after Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, serving as the president of the senate, referred to Roem as "sir." Roem, who is transgender, expressed offense at the perceived misgendering during a discussion about an upcoming vote on HB 964. Despite the incident, Earle-Sears continued to fulfill her duties.

"I am not here to upset anyone. I am here to do the job that the people of Virginia have called me to do. That is to treat everyone with respect and dignity. I myself have, at times, not been afforded that same respect and dignity. But in this body, and as long as I am president of the senate, and by the grace of God, I will be treated with respect and dignity. And I will treat everyone with respect and dignity," stated Earle-Sears in response to the incident.

Danica Roem, originally a white male who identifies as transgender, made history as the first trans-state senator elected in Virginia. Roem's election in 2017 has been recognized for breaking barriers, being the first white man identifying as a woman to secure a seat in the state senate.
