South Carolina Democrat Party Attacks Democrat Lawmaker Over Trans Bill: ‘Bigotry Will Find No Quarter’

The South Carolina Democrat Party (SCDP) slammed state Rep. Cezar McKnight (D-101) after McKnight introduced legislation this month that would ban minors from undergoing sex reassignment surgery or receiving puberty blockers.

“House Bill 4047 will criminalize not just the affirmation of one’s gender, but would turn teachers and faculty into criminals for simply listening to students,” SCDP Chairman Trav Robertson, Jr., said in a statement. “Government should never replace the advice of sound medical counsel, provided by professional practitioners. While the author of this bill is a Democrat, I ask all Democratic legislators to stand in firm opposition to this bill.”
