    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,”

    …and she identifies as female, not an attack helicopter, you dimwit.

    Wow, Delaware really has a jewel of a representative. Continuing with a flippant response to such an insult, afterwards declaring she’s here to make life of her constituents better and refusing to rise to the bait of that mysoginistic POS? I wish there were more politicians like her.

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

      He can’t even use this because the very thing he’s referencing (the Trump EO to define the two sexes) defines it by “at conception”. At conception, every fetus begins as female before the other chromosome kicks in. Conclusion, Representative McBride is a woman. But so is he. Not that it matters.

      Literally either way, that dumb fuck is wrong.

          Oh yes of course, but we can’t use “genderless” with these people because they just disengage. It’s slightly easier in my experience to just say we were all female first, which is why males have nipples.

            And the ridge on our scrotum. It comes from the fusion of the genital folds. Males literally have our vags sewn shut. 🤭

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

    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.

      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??)

        ever since the boxer incident right wingers have been purposely misgendering non-transgendered people. one family members were misgendered because she was wearing shoes that are not for her “sex”(not girlie look shoes, like colorful pics)

            they saw the person i know go into a womens bathroom, assuming she was a guy. are people that stupid, on the rare chance someone has androgynous features maybe.

            also because they are assuming as well.

              OMG, I SAW THAT SHIT TOO.

              Ima start making “right-winged” TikToks and slowly just start gaslighting Maga’s into thinking they were trans the whole time and never knew it.

              Why? I wanna watch the world burn 😈

            i know that sounds goofy as shit but IMAGINE just being able to effortlessly swap entire genders like that, and then being able to go back when I feel like it?! UGHHHHHHHHH THAT BE SO FUCKING COOL

            if im gonna be honest- I’d say im “digitally trans” if that makes any sense at all. I play a lotta online games like vrchat, and I fucking hate my voice cus I sound like a toddler, but the characters that I enjoy playing are all masculine men. So im working on getting a voice changer that can totally disguise my voice 😎 I’m still a girl, And I love being a girl lol, but im just sayin if there was a machine I could walk into and BAM im a full blown man, bits and everything…

            👀 I’d invest my life saving into that shit

      Yeah, the issue with the targeted person calling it out is that it just allows the attacker to pull the classic DARVO tactic and play the victim. If you fight back, it allows them to paint you in a bad light and use you as an example against everyone like you.

      That’s why it’s so important to have allies. It’s the ally’s job to get angry and confrontational when the victimized person can’t. When the victim needs to maintain decorum, the ally should be flipping tables and getting in the victimizer’s face about it. Because Keating is an old white guy; His identity can’t be used to further victimize trans people like McBride’s would have been.

      This is a perfect example of how the situation should play out. Bully tries to throw insults. The insulted person remains calm, but their ally gets in the bully’s face and makes a scene. The bully quickly retreats when they realize that they may need to actually back up their words, and the original victim is able to say that they did nothing wrong.

        This is well articulated. This dynamic is something I think of a lot, because as a cis woman, I often have a disproportionate level of social power in scenarios similar to this

            Yeah, that’s often the result (and like you, I also find this to be worthwhile nonetheless), but it depends on the context. Sometimes it plays out like this though (image below) and the trolling potential is glorious
