Sen. Danica Roem, a Democrat and the first transgender person to serve in the Virginia legislature, is biologically male but identifies as female. Roem asked a question regarding a piece of legislation during a general session on Monday afternoon.
"Madam President, how many votes would it take to pass this bill with the emergency clause? Roem asked.
"That would be four-fifths, senator," Sears responded.
"And what would be the exact number of that, Madam President?" Roem asked again.
"Yes, sir, that would be 32," Ear-Sears said.
