Transgender Congress Member Sarah McBride RESPONDS After Republican Misgenders Her

Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress, had a now-viral clapback when being deliberately misgendered during a House subcommittee hearing. Republican Rep. Keith Self of Texas called McBride “Mr.” during the March 11 meeting, prompting the Congresswoman to reply, “thank you, Madam Chair.” Democrat Rep. Bill Keating of Massachusetts interjected in McBride’s defense, telling Self that his introduction was “not decent.” When asked to repeat himself, Self doubled down and misgendered McBride again, referencing what he called “a standard” that has been “set on the floor of the House.” Self was likely referring to President Trump’s executive order declaring that the federal government now recognize only two biological sexes, male and female, and avoid the term “gender.” Keating went on to insist that Self adjust his phrasing to recognize McBride “the right way,” but Self abruptly ended the meeting instead.

Wonder If he had never seen or heard anything about her before and encountered her on the street, how would he address her ?

[stacywheeler]

Regardless of your personal feelings about transgender people, respecting us and giving us the courtesy and dignity you would expect for yourself costs you nothing. Purposely misgendering someone to make a point is simply being a bully.

[Red_Fox_]

The only one misgendering mcbride is himself, expecting everybody else to play along.

Thank you Access Hollywood for airing this. Thank you Keating for standing up for McBride. Thank you McBride for all the work you do.

Glad he stood up for her. Her name is Sarah just call her Sarah.

I can not believe this world why can’t you use her correct pronoun?! It’s not that hard to have respect for others! Even if you don’t understand her! she deserves respect!

[anitareallyhardspeakingfro]

A whole man sitting in front of you but you want to force others to lie he's a whole man😂

[sherryhynes]

He was so disrespectful to Sara McBride

[valkimura]

"Have you no decency!" may become a meme like Greta Thunberg's "How dare You!" These people are hilarious.

[jayrwickerman]

The Madam chairman looks like a corpse.

[jayrwickerman]

No decency is exactly correct. Madam chair should resign.

[raptordan]

Tim actually misgendered someone and it’s fine? 🤡

[eLite-Tiss]

"Quick ridden" more like disrespectful.... he's getting treated as he should be in the real world

[GhostOfMrP]

This is what they are fighting about? See this is an example the nonsense that goes on and why nothing gets done. Sorry not everyone will buy into your delusions

[robertemlund]

Don’t force people to speak a certain way or force people to buy into this mental health crisis this person is having

[MrMarc]

Yay!!! Thank you for standing up to ignorance for Sarah 😊

[RicardoalonsoGonzálezGutiérrez]

Treat others as you want to be treated.
If Sara McBride is respectful and a good human being who wants to make this world a better place, then She deserves the same respect than any other person.
The main difference between a beast and a human being is "respect"
So please, be respectful and be kind to others. For when we become a skeleton there will be no difference between us all.

Why is keating speaking for McBride. Can ‘She’ not speak for herself?

[geerhoar]

Gender dysphoria is real condition. Why should anyone be bullied for having a condition and doing something about it? It sounds like those doing the bullying also have a condition: insecurity. How is attempting to block people from contributing their full potential helping society?

[MichaelWinkelman-rmhp]

Freaking hilarious 😂 I spit my coffee across the table 🤣
