A group of families went to the Georgia State Capitol earlier this month to discuss transgender issues with state lawmakers. A girl named Aleix – age eight – started talking to state Sen. Carden Summers (R), the lead sponsor of S.B. 438, a bill that would ban transgender students from using the facilities associated with their gender and from participating in school sports as their gender.

Her mother told Summers they were there to "talk to legislators about keeping her kids safe."

Summers knelt down in front of Aleix and told her, "Well, you know, we're working on that, and I'm going to protect kids like you," according to Kotler. She said that Aleix was holding an LGBTQ+ rights sign that Summers didn't seem to notice.

"Yeah, Aleix is trans, and she wants to be safe at school, she wants to go to the bathroom and be safe," Kotler said.

She said that Summers immediately stood up and got nervous. "I mean, yeah, I'm going to make sure she's safe by going to the right bathroom," he said, according to Kotler.

She asked if her daughter would have to use the boys' restroom and he backed away and said, "You're attacking me." He then turned around and walked off.
