TN Lawmaker Says He'd "Stomp a Mudhole" in Transgender People Who Came Near His Family in a Dressing Room
Today's award for bigotry and intolerance goes to one Richard Floyd, a GOP State Rep. from Tennessee who has introduced legislation that would ban transgender individuals from using public restrooms and dressing rooms that are not designated for the gender listed on their birth certificates. What's more, Rep. Floyd said in a recent interview that if he "was standing at a dressing room and my wife or one of my daughters was in the dressing room and a man tried to go in there" (by which he means a transgender person), he would "stomp a mudhole" in that person. He went on, "Dont ask me to adjust to their perverted way of thinking and put my family at risk. We cannot continue to let these people dominate how society acts and reacts."
According to Urban Dictionary, the phrase "stomp a mudhole" means to "kick someone into the ground." ............(more)

(23,401 posts)Is that what he's saying? No...
What he REALLY wants to propose, but cannot, is that transgendered people be banned from using ANY public restroom or dressing room. He knows this segregation thing really gets the blood pumping for his supporters.
