More important than anything a rep or senator can say is how parents discuss and decide how they'll handle this stuff, which, if you live near any suburban area and have little kids, you're going to encounter.

And by that I mean how your wife is going to handle it when she feels the social pressure to not make waves about some trans person in some role of authority/supervision over your children.

Start talking to her if you haven't. That's not a sexist thing, it's a recognition of the reality that all my buddies will be like "hell yeah yank them out of there" and hers will wring their hands at the thought of being deemed bigoted/unkind.

Maybe it’s just because I live in SE Florida but this isn’t the reaction I normally see from the “mama bear” types, even the more liberal ones on other things. If it came to their daughter being in a room with a dude I’d bet my mortgage they’d drop all pretense and fight it.
