Zephyr's original speech (clearly totally out of bounds for a legislative debate) first brought him to major national attention after an initial burst of interest when he was elected in 2022.

Yesterday, the MT House expelled him from the floor for the rest of the legislative session.
Rep. Zephyr claims that when he came out as transgender his mother told him that he “always wanted to be a martyr.”
He is now getting his wish...

But who really is “Zooey Zephyr”?
Both Montana and national media seem incurious.
An exhaustive internet search reveals a disquieting story, one that shows a disturbed young man with a troubled past and a series of toxic relationships.

Born in Billings, MT as Zachary Raasch, he was a champion high school wrestler. “Zooey Zephyr,” currently in the state and national headlines, did not even exist until 2019, when, after several months of taking female hormones, Raasch publicly transitioned.

6/ He had surgical vaginoplasty in 2022 (indeed he was not in Missoula on election night when he was elected to the Montana House, but flying to New York for post-operative care of the wound where his natural genitals used to be)

According to Raasch, his parents “disowned” him when he decided to transition. Raasch was originally motivated to run for the state legislature in response to the attempts to ban “Transgender girls” from girls and women’s sports.

8/ Disturbingly, he is extremely interested in transhumanism (the melding of man and machine through “technological enhancement” of the human body)—the subject of an abandoned master’s thesis at the University of Montana.
Perhaps this explains his desire to modify his body.

9/ Previously, he was a major player in the online Super Smash Bros. online gaming community (playing here as Cazcom)

The community was hit by a scandal in 2020 involving major players and the sexual abuse of minors.
Raasch has expressed regret that through taking minors to tournaments he may have exposed them to harm.
Was Raasch/Zephyr an abuser or victim?

He is also a fan of Manga and anime. Raasch has posted disturbing sexualized anime images on his Twitter.
He shows all the classic sign of an autogynephilic—a man who (often spurred by pornography or fetish) becomes sexually aroused by the idea of themselves as a woman.

Raasch is also dating Anthony “Erin” Reed, one of the most prominent national transgender activists.
Reed has a disturbing background himself, and one again that has been almost completely ignored by the national media in which he has frequently appeared.

and other disturbing behavior.

14/ Contra "Zephyr", Montana Republicans are fighting back against radical gender ideology not because we want transgender-identified and gender-confused people (especially children) to die-- but because we want them to live!
15/ This thread just scratches the surface.
