Marjorie Taylor Greene: Transgender women 'need to stay out of our rape crisis centers'


David Edwards
June 24, 2021

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Thursday called for transgender women to be banned from rape crisis centers.

During an appearance on Real America's Voice, host Steve Bannon asked Greene to speak out against transgender rights, which he called a "war on women."

Greene accused Democrats of "separating" people by their identities "whether it's transgenders, Blacks, Hispanics."

"They want everybody to be a victim and then they need them to be dependent on the Democrats and their policies and their plans and goals in order to be able to survive," she charged. "Now we have the Democrat [sic] Party that claims to be the champion for women. They claim that abortion is pregnancy rights but instead that's killing a baby in a woman's womb. It's actually the worst scar a woman can carry for the rest of her life."

“They claim that abortion is pregnancy rights but instead that's killing a baby in a woman's womb”

Republicans claim to be pro life but instead they actually want to control women.

4. So it's they need to stay out rape crisis centers, and not men need to stop putting women in them?

…especially vulnerable because of the perceived threat they pose to the masculinity of males with fragile psyches. Would be nice if we as a society could just make them stop.

This bish needs to stay out of everything. Go back to having affairs with other goobers and shouting into the wind as a private citizen.

Hopefully we will clean up this particularly neglected area of standing up for human rights on DU.
