She's been the subject of a sympathetic article in the NY Magazine. She's been doing stuff like this for months! Completely clogging up the legislature with mono-maniacal glee. The comments are an interesting read, except for one tra who's spamming anyone remotely critical

‘I Want the Bloody Hands Recorded’

Machaela Cavanaugh’s tear-and-rage-filled filibuster of a Nebraska anti-trans bill she knew would probably pass anyway.

Batshit, obviously, but she does have rhythm!

@CliantheLang so fucking true it's heartbreaking

If only she would listen to detransitioners like Richie Herring and Kiera Bell. It would be great if someone invited them to address the Nebraska legislature.

She probably can’t though if it is true that she has transed her child. Especially if the child has already had medication and surgery. Imagine how hard it must be to admit that you might have made choices for your child which have caused irreversible damage. Most mothers think twice before even taking paracetamol during pregnancy or breastfeeding. For me that would explain what looks like mental instability. I am amazed that she hasn’t been signed off work, she really doesn’t seem well at all.

”She probably can’t though if it is true that she has transed her child”

From the NY article, I am sure I read that she only started to think about this bill when it was tabled. It didn’t say she had a child with a trans identity. Her children are under 9 years old I think.

Five weeks earlier, a Republican colleague had introduced LB 574, the “Let Them Grow” bill, which would ban transgender people under the age of 19 from seeking what it described as “gender altering procedures,” including puberty-blocking drugs, hormone therapy, and surgery. Like most of her colleagues, Cavanaugh hadn’t known much about the health-care needs of transgender people before the bill was introduced, but in the weeks since, she had talked to doctors, read papers, and listened to hours of testimony, and she had concluded that the proposal was ill-conceived, unscientific, and bigoted.

The article mentions that she has a friend with a child who identifies as trans. Her friend may be a main source of her 'information'.

One of Cavanaugh’s friends and colleagues, Megan Hunt, who owns a stationery store in Omaha, led with a personal appeal. Hunt, an independent and the first openly bi woman in the body, has a 13-year-old son, Ash, who came out as trans a few years ago. Along with several Democrats, she had been participating in Cavanaugh’s filibuster, filing motions and eating up floor time.
