—Tweeted, "Mothers are mutilating and murdering their babies through transgenderism and abortion. Meanwhile, society sits back and allows men to destroy women’s sports. How much more can America take before our civilization begins to collapse?" In a video in the tweet, Greene misgendered new Fox News commentator Caitlyn Jenner, misgendered swimmer Lia Thomas, called LGBTQ rights activist Harvey Milk "gay pedophile," and called transgender female students "biological males."
Our society is sick. Mothers are mutilating and murdering their babies through transgenderism and abortion. Meanwhile, society sits back and allows men to destroy women’s sports.

—Said in a bizarre speech that Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg and his husband Chasten should “stay out of our girls' bathrooms” while speaking at a Donald Trump rally. Greene is vocal about her anti-transgender belief that transgender people should not be allowed to use public accommodations that align with their gender identity, but Buttigieg is cisgender, not transgender. In the same speech, Green misgendered swimmer Lia Thomas saying, “…he needs to go back to men’s swimming because we’re going to kick the biological men out of women’s sports.” Thomas is a transgender woman.
—Tweeted, without basis, that “teaching racism and promoting sex, homosexuality, & normalizing transgender to children is mental/emotional child abuse.”
—Put up a sign denying the existence of transgender people, directly across the hall from a congressional colleague who has a transgender child. The sign read: “There are TWO genders: MALE & FEMALE. Trust The Science!” Greene then tweeted: “Our neighbor, @RepMarieNewman, wants to pass the so-called ‘Equality’ Act to destroy women's rights and religious freedoms. Thought we'd put up ours so she can look at it every time she opens her door.”
—Tweeted that a parent discussing gender identity with a child is “child abuse. Denying God’s creation, that He made us male and female, in HIS image, and causing a little one to stumble in this way is completely evil. Parenting is a great responsibility & gift, don’t do this.”
—Spoke on House floor "in defense of women, girls and children" to refute need for the Equality Act, which would bar discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation and gender identity.
—Responded to a congressional colleague's tweet about the importance of the Equality Act for transgender individuals such as her daughter: “Your biological son does NOT belong in my daughters’ bathrooms, locker rooms and sports teams.”
—Cosponsored the Old Glory Only Act, which would ban flying the Pride flag at U.S. embassies.
—Cosponsored the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, a bill that would bar transgender girls and women from participating in women’s sports. In an interview where she misgendered trans girls, Greene said her political opponents “don’t want conservative speech. They don’t want conservative values, because they want to convince you there is no gender. They want to erase and attack God’s creation, that there’s male and female, and he created them in his image.… Boys do not belong in girls’ and women’s sports.”
—Posted on Facebook about a drag queen story time event at a library: “Trans does not mean gender change, it just means a gender refusal and gender pretending! Truth is truth, it is not a choice!!!”
