Representative Mary Miller (R, Illinois-15), or a staffer writing in her name, has responded to PolitiFact’s conclusion that Miller’s claims about gender-affirming care for trans and nonbinary children and adolescents are false. I won’t link to what Miller (or a staffer) wrote, but I’ll quote:
I am unashamed of our Judeo-Christian heritage and the values that most Americans hold to. God created us male and female — this [i.e., gender-affirming care] is nothing but rebellion against God.And:
Why are we ashamed of our Judeo-Christian heritage and our values? We need to be loud and proud about them. They are the values that bring freedom and productivity to a country, to its communities, and that cause our families to thrive.Samuel L. Perry, Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Oklahoma offers a helpful ten-point checklist: How can we spot #ChristianNationalism in the wild? I score Mary Miller as an eight, possibly nine, of ten.

Here's what one of my state lawmakers is saying: https://littleapplepost.com/posts/87f03dc6-55c5-46b4-b471-8dfa23d05bb2
Pretty appalling! And not only says that a child was frightened of her (Byers) but also that she (Byers) is huge.
And then when I look up more about Rep. Byers, I see that she is a Chickasaw.
Wow! talk about about burning a lot of bridges.

Pretty appalling. Helmer seems to be following the same script Miller uses. (Miller introduced a bill to protect “our girls” by regulating bathroom use.)
I always like to quote Paul in Galatians 3:28:
"In Christ there is no male or female."
Frex = Fresca
Wonderful! I suppose she’d shoot back with “Male and female created he them,” and then we could ask her to account for why there are two different creation stories at the beginning of Genesis.
