“People are in charge of their own bodies and everyone wants to feel comfortable and safe in their own bodies but they cant when he's making these order,” Dombrowski said.

Then there were others. Like Trump supporters Ellen Lambright and Linda Lee Tarver who watched the protest from across the streets, as they vocally supported the president's orders.

“I'm a christian, I believe God made male and female,” Tarver said. “This multiple genders that went into effect during Joe Biden’s administration is just insane.”

Opposing sides at the state capitol that seem to agree on one thing, a mission to speak up about political viewpoints.

“I love to see this honesty.. and I believe their voices should be heard,” Tarver said.
