A constituent called a Wyoming senator “Madam Chairman” during testimony against a bill aiming to curtail gender expression and identity in the state on Friday, February 20.Britt Boril addressed Chairman Tim French as “Madam Chairman” during testimony before the Wyoming Senate Agriculture, State and Public Lands & Water Resources committee on Friday. When French protested that his preferred pronoun was “Mr Chairman,” Boril referenced Senate File 0077, “prohibiting the state and its political subdivisions from requiring the use of preferred pronouns.”The comments came at the beginning of Boril’s testimony against House Bill 0032 What is a Woman Act, which seeks in part to define and codify the definition of gender for Wyomingites as restricted to the sex a person was assigned at birth.The committee unanimously voted to recommend HB0032 pass.
