Biography Richard Floyd was born on April 17, 1944, in Hamilton County. He is a former employee of Chattanooga Coca-Cola. In press reports, he was quoted threatening to "stomp a mudhole" in any transgender woman if they came anywhere near his family. He later stated, "This bill... is intended to protect," he said. "I have a wife, three daughters, two granddaughters, and there is no way, if some man thought he was a woman and thought he had the privileged or the right to go into a women's bathroom, I would no way and stand there and allow that," adding "Don't ask me to adjust to their perverted way of thinking and put my family at risk. We cannot continue to let these people dominate how society acts and reacts. 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."
