Marjorie Taylor Greene celebrates the start of Pride Month with a transphobic message

Yesterday was the start of Pride Month, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) used that day to send a message to her LGBTQ+ constituents.

“There are TWO genders: Male & Female,” she tweeted with a picture of her sign that keeps on getting stolen. “Trust the science!”

Greene first put up that sign outside her congressional office in early 2021. While the message itself is incorrect – usually it’s scientists telling non-scientists that sex and gender are much more complicated than “Men are from Mars, women are from Venus” – the point is to say that trans and nonbinary people’s identities aren’t legitimate.

People on social media did not appear to believe that it was just a coincidence that Greene tweeted this message on June 1.

What a great way to show you support a marginalized community. This is like people posting pictures of segregated bathrooms at the start of black history month. It’s sad.

Science: Gender identity is the complex relationship between a person’s innate sense of self and societal gender roles and norms, and may differ from their genetic or assigned sex.

Trust the science? When it's only convenient for you? And don't trust them with a pandemic? Got it.
