NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee state Rep. Richard Floyd (R) has been criticized for saying he would “stomp a mudhole” into a transgender person who tried to use a proper dressing room. Floyd is a sponsor of a bill that would prevent transgender people from accessing facilities that correspond with their gender identities.

According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, Floyd got the idea from a news story about a Texas woman who said she was fired from Macy’s after preventing a male teenager dressed as a woman from changing in a women’s dressing room.

Floyd told the Times Free Press that if a man tried to enter a dressing room while his wife or daughters were trying on clothes, he would “just try to stomp a mudhole in him and then stomp him dry.”

“Now if somebody thinks he’s a woman and he’s a man and wants to try on women’s clothes, let him take them into the men’s bathroom or dressing room,” Floyd said.
