U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, the Republican nominee for governor of Alabama, criticized transgender people, their parents and their doctors on the Senate floor Thursday.

Tuberville claimed transgender people are mentally ill and a danger to others.

He said that airline pilots who are transgender or wear fursuits are “deranged” and suggested more LGBTQ people should be institutionalized.

“It is the best interest of our country to bring back mental institutions as a normal part of our society, instead of sweeping it under the rug,” Tuberville said, standing next to a sign that said “Transgenderism is a Mental Illness.”

“I want to be clear about this gender confusion,” he said.

“It is not normal. It is a cry for help, and our society needs to stop affirming people who are suffering from this mental illness.”

Its creepy how obsessed they are with transgender people. Why are they so obsessed? To what point and purpose would institutionalizing these people solve? Like, I’m not seeing how transgender people existing harms people.

Also, who’d pay for this? We don’t even have universal health-insurance in America. So, what? We involuntarily incarcerte transgender people and then charge them for their own extermination treatment?

Also also, how would the 5th Amendment come in?
