BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, and still I rise. I rise today in strong support of this legislation because it includes trans women. Some of the most brutal, horrific crimes created in the minds of people have been perpetrated upon trans women.

Madam Speaker, this legislation protects them, as it protects all women. I support it and I encourage my colleagues to do so as well.
