A House Foreign Affairs subcommittee hearing ended abruptly Tuesday after Rep. Keith Self (R-Texas) referred to Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.), the first transgender person elected to Congress, as "mister."

Self, who chairs the subcommittee on Europe, introduced McBride as "the congressman from Delaware" during a hearing on arms control and U.S. assistance to Europe. McBride responded by calling Self "Madam Chair."

As McBride delivered her remarks, ranking member Bill Keating (D-Mass.) interjected, asking Self to repeat his introduction.

"Mr. Chairman, you are out of order," Keating said. "Mr. Chairman, have you no decency? I mean, I've come to know you a little bit, but this is not decent."

"We will continue this hearing," Self responded.

"You will not continue it with me unless you introduce a duly elected representative the right way," Keating said.

Self then adjourned the hearing.

It is wonderful to see good people standing up for decency against bigots.
The video on X is worth watching.

Wow!  Why wasn't this on the national news on the hour! (Rhetorical)

It is good that there are still good people serving constituents.

It is ironic that this defiance is shown on Elon Musk's platform.

I'm sorry for having a little possibly off-topic tantrum but why do the Powers That Be back up their dogma with chromosomes?  Does even the most tyrannical state make a law that says an adopted child is not a real child because he or she has the wrong genes?  The reason it never happens is because laws usually recognise that love and acceptance Trump genes and chromosomes.
