Kansas woman Rep. doesn't want to share restroom with male colleague with gender dysphoria

"Look at the size of that thing"

Kansas state Rep. Cheryl Helmer (R) has strong negative feelings about having to use a restroom with her Democratic male colleague who suffers from gender dysphoria and has a huge penis but dresses like a woman and believes he is female. It makes her uncomfortable.

Helmer made her concerns known in an email sent April 23 to University of Kansas graduate student Brenan Riffel. He describes himself as trans-female, which means he's a man who thinks he's a woman. Helmer wrote "personally I do not appreciate the huge transgender female who is now in our restrooms in the Capitol," The Washington Times reported.

Helmer was referring to Rep. Stephanie Byers, the state's first elected gender dysphoric lawmaker, an accurate description we will all now be able to post on Twitter if we so choose. 

In response to the remarks, House Speaker Ron Ryckman Jr., a Kansas City-area cowardly Republican, said, "it’s unfortunate those words were said."

The email comes as the GOP-controlled legislature is attempting to override Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto of a  ban allowing men who believe or simply say they identify as female, compete against girl's and women's who actually are female, in K-12 and college sports, where the biology of boys and men have a physical advantage over girls and women. 

Lawmakers in the Kansas state Senate voted 28-10 to override the Democratic governor's veto. The House is expected to take a vote on the matter, though it was not clear when.

"We know this has been going on in offices, and back rooms and conversations since the day I was elected," Byers said Tuesday, The Times reported. "The shocking part is that it came out, that someone actually said it."

This boy is doomed

Helmer, 70, said she was in the Statehouse with a mother and her young daughter and Byers several months ago. She said the child was scared of Byers and his giant penis.

She said she mistakenly entered the men's restroom in the House in 2021 and the men became upset. She said she asked them how would they like it if a woman regularly used their restroom, the report said.

She also said parents shouldn't be allowed to pretend to change the gender of their children. 

"You can’t lop a penis off and then expect, you know, a little boy to now live his life," she said. "He’ll be in regret for the rest of his life." 

And in spite of trying, he'll still be a boy, just a boy without a penis and future of no satisfying sexual fulfillment.

Byer said several lawmakers have moved away from her in the elevator and noted the Kansas GOP's platform declares that "We believe God created two genders, male and female."

In an interview with the news outlet, Riffel said Helmer's comments weren't surprising.

"The rhetoric against the LGBTQ community has been the same for years, that we’re a threat to society; we’re going to hurt people," said Riffel. "I just want to go about and just be myself."

They wouldn't be a threat to anyone if they stayed in their own lane and stopped trying to groom children with their agenda in the schools.
