"Have you no decency?": Congressional committee hearing abruptly ends after McBride misgendered
SalonRep. Sarah McBride might be willing to let the some Republican slights roll off her back, but not all of her fellow Democrats are willing to tolerate the disrespect. Rep. Bill Keating, D-Mass., during a Tuesday meeting of the House's Europe Subcommittee after Chair Keith Self, R-Texas, misgendered McBride. Shortly before she took her seat on Capitol Hill, Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., amended House rules to require that lawmakers use bathrooms in line with their "biological sex." Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., has used McBride's time in Congress as a springboard to slots on conservative talk shows, where she can openly espouse anti-trans bigotry while getting in valuable national face time. "Every single time we hear them say the word 'trans,' look what they're doing with their right hand," she told CBS' "Face The Nation" in November.
