BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. LANDSMAN. Mr. Chair, I rise today in opposition to this bill.

I hate bullies. This bill is about bullying children.

Children struggle with identity, gender, and otherwise. As a parent, I need all the other adults, teachers, coaches, and lawmakers to help me and my wife to protect our children, support them, give them a sense of purpose and belonging.

This is the opposite of that. You are picking on children.

Your government has become so intrusive in our lives. You are in our doctors' offices banning reproductive freedom. You are in our classrooms banning books and what teachers can and can't say.

Now, you are in my daughter's locker room requiring physical exams of children? It is so profoundly disgusting and inappropriate.

It is un-American. Don't tread on us. Let us be.

We have an economy to fix, a public safety crisis to address, a border to secure, a budget to balance, roads to pave, and bridges to build.

Focus. Stop bullying children.
