During a visit to lobby legislators on transgender issues, Senator Carden Summers ® knelt down and told a child he would protect her. When he learned she was trans, he backed away.
On Feb. 6, a group of families met to lobby senators on issues affecting the local transgender community in Georgia. One mother, Lena Kotler, decided to take her two children with her to give the topic a human face. While waiting to meet with Democratic Sen. Kim Jackson, who they had heard was a big supporter of LGBTQ+ rights, another senator passed by — Republican Sen. Carden Summers, the primary sponsor of the state’s bathroom ban bill. Little did he know that one of the children he would be interacting with, Aleix, 8 years old, was a transgender child.
According to Kotler and other families who were present, the senator stopped to say hello. That’s when Kotler spoke to Senator Summers about how she was there with her kids to “talk to legislators about keeping her kids safe.” Although she did not mention that one of her children was trans, they were present with LGBTQ+ signage - something the Senator apparently missed when he knelt down in front of Aleix and said, according to Kotler, “Well you know, we’re working on that and I’m going to protect kids like you.”
Kotler then replied, “Yeah - Alex is trans, and she wants to be safe at school, she wants to go to the bathroom and be safe.”
That is when, according to multiple witnesses, Sen. Summers stood up and fumbled his words, repeating, “I mean, yeah, I’m going to make sure she’s safe by going to the right bathroom,” continuing to use the correct pronouns for Aleix. When asked if he would make her go to a boy’s bathroom, he then allegedly backed away, saying, “You’re attacking me,” turned around, and walked off quickly.
Brave Ser Summers ran away, Bravely ran away, away. When a child with questions to him was led, He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Please no one go to his Facebook page and find his number then leave him a voicemail singing that song

LMAO
Is he a moron, or is that a strategy? Lol
He’s a coward, just like everyone else in his party. Afraid of a fucking child. His ancestors would be ashamed of him, and his descendants will disown him.
“Will your bill do what it says?”
“HOW DARE YOU!”
And this is a legislator.
he then allegedly backed away, saying, “You’re attacking me,” turned around, and walked off quickly.
Oh no, better run to the bathroom to cry. Attacked by an eight year old, that poor soul.
“I mean, yeah, I’m going to make sure she’s safe by going to the right bathroom,” continuing to use the correct pronouns for Aleix.
Gotta love that he doesn’t even realize he’s saying Aleix is a girl and girls should be using the girls’ bathroom.
Edit: I really want to know if the people downvoting me are anti-trans bigots or don’t understand that an anti-trans bigot accidentally took her side even after realizing she’s trans?
“yOu’Re AaTtAcKiNg mEeee!!!”
What a dipshit.
8 year olds have an IQ around 20. There’s zero chance an 8 year old comprehends being trans. The mother is a narcissist.
Someone here has an IQ of 20, but it’s not that kid.
The lowest diagnosed IQ is 40.
Your statement is incorrect.
How are children mature enough to realize they are trans?
Seems like children are too impressionable to be able to make decisions like that.
That’s why children have parents and medical professionals to ultimately investigate and make important decisions for them
Yeah, because neither group has ever been manipulated into making the wrong decisions for other people.
