Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas., the chairman of the subcommittee, recognized McBride to speak and addressed her as “Mr. McBride.”
In response, McBride said, “Thank you, Madam Chair,” before beginning her remarks. She was soon cut off by the subcommittee’s ranking member Rep. William Keating, D-Mass., who asked Self to repeat his introduction. He then called McBride “mister” again.
“Mr. Chairman, you are out of order,” Keating shot back. “Mr. Chairman, have you no decency? I mean, I’ve come to know you a little bit. But this is not decent.”
“Thank you, Madam Chair,”
This is perfect.
If they’re going to act like schoolyard bullies then curt “no u” replies are more than appropriate.
Proving that the easiest way for Democratic lawmakers to bring the Republican agenda to a screeching halt is to show a baseline level of support for the one transperson they've actually met.
They won't on a wider scale though, showing just how little they care either for Trans folk or for stopping the Magats.
