House Republicans feigned ignorance or just outright lied in an Education and Workforce Committee hearing on Tuesday as they pretended not to understand how a transgender man could get pregnant.

One indignant representative, freshman Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL), called the idea "insane."

Tuesday's hearing—entitled, "Training Activists, Not Physicians: The Impact of DEI on Medical Schools"—targeted diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts [DEI] and their implications for antisemitism and other kinds of racial and religious discrimination on campuses.

"UCSF's classroom guide, titled 'Framework for Gender and Sex Concepts in Teaching,' advises against using the term 'pregnant women,'" Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) told UCSF Chancellor Dr. Sam Hawgood in questioning. "Instead, it says to use 'pregnant people.' Who are 'pregnant people' compared to pregnant women? Just curious."

Hawgood replied, "So that is a part of a curriculum to help our students who are facing a wide diversity of patients. Of course, the vast majority of pregnancies are in women, and I have absolutely no problem with using the word 'pregnant women.' I use it myself."

"Has a non-biological woman ever had a baby?" Miller asked.

"A transgender person can," Hawgood responded.

"That's not a biological woman. Has a non-biological woman ever had a baby?"

"I would reiterate," said Hawgood, "we take care of transgender patients."

"It's ridiculous," Miller interrupted.
