Missouri lawmaker writes back to retired teacher: 'I don't care about your feelings'

“I’m wondering if there is data supporting the need for bills regulating this in Missouri or if this (is) a solution in search of a problem,” Jeffress wrote. “As an educator who has worked at the middle school and high school level in Missouri, I know how hard it is for transgender students to be accepted by peers, parents, churches and some teachers. If they are able to participate on an athletic team, they may find acceptance important to their well-being. I hope you would sponsor bills that support positive mental health for each citizen of the state of Missouri instead of proposing bills that attack a population already at risk. Thank you for your time,” she said in closing. The next morning, she received this far less respectful reply:

“Nedra, Do your own research. I don’t care about your feelings nor do I care about your resume. “Bottom line, my intent is to keep women’s/girl’s sports for the female gender.

“If a person was born with a penis, that individual doesn’t belong in sports designed solely for females. “Now go ahead and have your meltdown and/or temper tantrum. Remember, Let’s Go Brandon!!”

2. Ian Mackey speaks for me even though I am not gay; State Rep. Chuck Basye is proud to be an A-hole

3. He just looks like an arrogant prick.

I guess his reply confirms it. Simply inexcusable.

"Trump 2016. Fuck your safe space!"

"Trump 2016. Fuck your feelings!"

You've made it loud and clear, asshats.

Fuck us? FUCK YOU, Jeffress. FUCK YOU, Nazi Republican Party.
