West Virginia Democrats aligned with Republicans in the House of Delegates on Friday to pass a bill, HB 4233, that bars the term "nonbinary" from appearing on birth certificates and mandates the inclusion of a person's sex (male/female) on the document.

While West Virginia already prohibited changing the gender marker on birth certificates to nonbinary, LGBTQ advocates condemned the Democrats who voted in favor of the bill, saying that their votes revealed where they stand on transgender rights.

"This isn't even a thing -you can change birth certificates but NOT to non binary soooo the dems who will say it's a do nothing bill- done DID something to their voter base," West Virginian author and ACLU-WV staff member Jamie Miller said on social media. "It speaks volumes to the people in West Virginia that you disregard while voting for your own interests."

The Democrats who voted for the bill include Hollis Lewis, Joey Garcia, Kayla Young, Ric Griffith, Sean Hornbuckle, and self-proclaimed "Lefty" Shawn Fluharty.

Democrats call them DINO's Democrats in Name Only. Most are actually republicans who realize they couldn't get elected if they ran on the party they are most aligned with.  It's sad that democratic voters let themselves be duped by these people.
