Yesterday was the start of Pride Month, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) used that day to send a message to her LGBTQ+ constituents.
“There are TWO genders: Male & Female,” she tweeted with a picture of her sign that keeps on getting stolen. “Trust the science!”

The news you care about, reported on by the people who care about you:
Greene first put up that sign outside her congressional office in early 2021. While the message itself is incorrect – usually it’s scientists telling non-scientists that sex and gender are much more complicated than “Men are from Mars, women are from Venus” – the point is to say that trans and nonbinary people’s identities aren’t legitimate.
People on social media did not appear to believe that it was just a coincidence that Greene tweeted this message on June 1.
