“Two Utah lawmakers — including Senate President Wayne Niederhauser (R) — apologized Monday for a Twitter exchange about changing genders that drew quick outrage on social media,” the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Rep. Jake Anderegg (R) posted that the private House men’s restroom was occupied, and he was “strongly considering a gender identifying change to use the open women’s.”
“That drew a response from Niederhauser’s account, teasing Anderegg for agreeing to co-sponsor a bill banning discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Utahns — the result of a computer glitch Friday — ‘now switching your gender identity? Just can’t keep up with you! You’re a new man. Er … woman.'”
