"A Montana transgender state House member who has been prevented by her Republican colleagues from debating a bill on the House floor that would ban gender-affirming care for minors announced late Tuesday that she will be subject to a disciplinary vote on Wednesday.

State Rep. Zooey Zephyr posted a letter to her Twitter account she received from GOP House leaders Tuesday night which states that a motion will be presented on the House floor Wednesday afternoon to determine whether Zephyr's "actions" during a rally Monday on her behalf necessitate "disciplinary consequences."

The House will be asked "to determine" if Zephyr's "conduct" on the House floor on Monday "violated the rules, collective rights, safety, dignity, integrity, or decorum of the House," the letter — which was later posted on the Montana Legislature's website — reads. The motion is scheduled to be considered at 1 p.m. Pacific time.

Zephyr tweeted that she could be either censured or expelled, and that she will be given "a chance to speak."

All of this because she had the audacity to call them out on the harm they are inflicting on trans teens.

4. We should send her 1000 sunflowers. I have the week off.

I could start the GoFundMe if there is enough interest. I could also call florists in Helena and see if they can handle the request.

Doesn't necessarily have to be sunflowers, I just thought they would be great symbolically because they represent sunlight and cheerfulness, whilst also being strong, fending off pests and facing always towards the light.
