Nebraska Dem Swears To ‘Burn the Session to the Ground’ Over Bill That Bans Child Sex-Change Operations

Machaela Cavanaugh (D.), a Nebraska state lawmaker, has said that she will filibuster any piece of legislation because the legislature advanced a bill that prohibits sexchange operations for children.

If the legislature fails to withdraw the bill “I am going to make it painful—painful for everyone,” Cavanaugh declared. “I will burn the session to the ground over this bill.”

Cavanaugh succeeded in stopping lawmakers from passing laws. Wednesday was the last day of this update. “not a single bill will have passed,” The Associated Press reportedCavanaugh talks about it. “her favorite Girl Scout cookies, Omaha’s best doughnuts, and the plot of the animated movie Madagascar” To take up the time of the legislature.

Left-wingers have celebrated Cavanaugh’s obstructionism. One LGBTQ activist described it as “a great example of what is possible.” “a heroic effort.” This praise is far from the Democrats’. as recently as last year. Politicians, including President Joe Biden, and progressive activists have blasted the filibuster, with Biden notably calling it a “Jim Crow relic.” Last year, a Democratic congressman stated that the tactic was not working. “killing children,” The Washington Free Beacon reported.

Cavanaugh’s filibuster which she claimed is necessary to protect transgender kids comes after a whistleblower reported Missouri Clinic commits “morally and medically appalling” Transgender children are subject to discrimination “permanently harming the vulnerable patients.”

At least 21 other state legislatures are also investigating the effects of sexchange operations on children. Kathleen Kauth, a Republican Nebraska lawmaker, introduced the bill Cavanaugh is filibustering. “protect children from undertaking gender-affirming treatments that they might later regret as adults,” The AP wrote.

Cavanaugh, her supporters “don’t want to acknowledge the support I have for this bill,” Kauth spoke. “We should be allowed to debate this.”
