A former man from Laramie, Wyoming, 27-year-old Rihanna Kelver, has become the center of controversy. One local figure, Republican Representative Joel Guggenmos from Riverton, expressed sympathy for what he described as an “attention-seeking man trying to be a woman.”
Another Republican representative suggested that this situation is merely a “publicity stunt for a transgender cause.”
Cal Lemike acknowledged that while Kelver’s desire to identify as a woman is his personal choice, he believes it should not be imposed on the 95% of people who disagree with this view, calling it a “mental sickness.”
Simon Jones further stated that Kelver should return to Colorado, asserting that in Wyoming, there is a strong belief that men cannot be women and women cannot be men. He characterized this situation as a mental breakdown driven by what he referred to as a liberal “woke” agenda, which he claims is unwelcome in Wyoming. He emphasized that the state’s values are based on God, Guns, and Family, rejecting what he views as “crazy liberal woke sickness.”
