"Self later explained himself in a post on X, formerly Twitter, saying that “It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female,”"

But she is one of those two fucking sexes you piece of garbage.

“In response, McBride said, “Thank you, Madam Chair,” before beginning her remarks.“

Perfection.

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.”

Though Self said it was time to continue the hearing, Keating replied, “You will not continue it with me unless you introduce a duly elected representative the right way.” Self then adjourned the hearing.

Self later explained himself in a post on X, formerly Twitter, saying that “It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female,” referring to President Donald Trump executive order in January.

McBride later wrote on X that “No matter how I'm treated by some colleagues, nothing diminishes my awe and gratitude at getting to represent Delaware in Congress.”

Fascists fashing in addition to being contemptible fuckwits.

Why are ANY Democrats on Xitter?!

DNC, get your idiot consultants gone already.

Bit of a catch-22 when you're a public official. It would make sense for them to just use cross-posting client to cover their bases, but I doubt they know that.

You know if these people think the president has the ability to just declare laws then why don't they just resign? What's the purpose of a congressman? If he's just surrendered all the rights and privileges of his office then why does he need to fill his office? Just seems like he's a burden on the taxpayers at this point. Seems like that's an inefficiency that could be cut Musk.

Good for him, standing up for a colleage and due process, too.

If the government feels the need to recognize what's in our pants, the government needs reninded exactly where our boundaries lie.

What's in my pants is whatever the fuck I tell them is in my pants.

”"I’m not here to fight about bathrooms. I’m here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down costs facing families," she said."

Fuck yeah. Rock on. I'm sorry she has to face this bullshit, but Delaware is lucky to have her.

[–] Cock_Inspecting_Asexual@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (30 children)

I didnt know she was trans- To be totally honest im actually out of the loop on a lot of this, Visually, she looks EXACTLY like a woman (man I wish I could swap genders and pass-)

Dude she passes 100%, there's not anything to her appearance that looks masculine, and I say this as just someone looking at her first glance. I saw her for the first time and said "Thats deadass a woman, How do you misgender her she's literally a woman. Are they stupid?" then scrolled the comments and found out she's trans.

AND THEY STILL MISGENDERED HER??? Nah dude- fuck whoever did that, they're a prick fr.

(you're still a prick if you purposefully misgender someone but like- idk if the person looked exactly like man but prefers She/her, my dumbass is gonna be struggling regardless; I can barely remember to eat food during the day. But this scenario is like looking at Janet Mock and calling her a He. WTF??)

Happy to see McBride being supported, but where was that support for Al Green?

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz -4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

~~Was he on this committee? I have not seen a list of names.~~

I misread a preposition, from instead of for.

What you want him to bust into the committee like the koolaid man?

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yes, but that's not the point.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I have already twice admitted to having misread a preposition in the comment, I read from rather than for.

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

Oh, I wasn't trying to rag on you. I just liked the image you put in my head.

McBride is truly awe-inspiring. She's so strong.

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Gotta give props to Keating too. It's refreshing to see a Democrat actually push back.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Not just push back, but push back so effectively. I hope Democrats see how well it works. Fascist are cowards by Nature. When you hit them in the face they fold. Feel free to take that metaphorically and literally.
