Right-wing politician Marjorie Taylor Greene has attacked trans people at the Republican National Convention, claiming there are “only two genders”.

Appearing on stage at the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Monday (15 July), Greene took swipes at the trans community and immigrants, in a speech that some broadcasters chose not to air. 

Greene, a Republican representative for Georgia, has made a name for herself with anti-LGBTQ+ talking points, describing queer people as “groomers”, selling t-shirts mocking the Mpox outbreak and holding an (unsuccessful) anti-trans rally. 

Beginning by mentioning the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, Greene quickly moved on to attack trans people, including tearing into Trans Day of Visibility. 

“For far too long, the establishment in Washington has sold us out,” she said. 

“They promised unity and delivered division. They promised peace and brought war. They promised normalcy and gave us Transgender Visibility Day on Easter Sunday.

“And let me state this clearly: there are only two genders and we are made in God’s image.”
