House Republican introduces transgender lawmaker as 'the gentleman ... Mr. McBride'

Representative Mary Miller introduces Sarah McBride as “The gentleman from Delaware, Mr. McBride”. What is this bullsh*t??!!!! What is wrong with these people? Are they so insulated in their own, prejudiced world that they can’t accept what and who someone is? They keep their eyes closed and turn away, thinking they are always right, even when they’re wrong, heck, even when they’re SHOWN they’re wrong?

Ms. Miller probably has some dark shit she'd definitely like to keep private.

They are perfectly satisfied wallowing in their rancid mold covered and scummy pickled brine of ridicule and hatred.

That is what makes them happy and warm to their very core.

...because non trans people don't feel the same response, yet then automatically equate their reaction to that of trans people's. So the transphobes have their opinions reinforced.

Sadly, over a quarter of a century, this is the entirely serious suggestion I've heard that comes up most often from non trans people as a rejoinder to mispronouning.

and call someone what they want to be called.

Maybe someone should introduce Ms. Miller as "the Harpy from...wherever she's from".

Republicans are bullies. And when she says it she knows her base loves it. It makes her feel good, like she’s scored some points at someone else’s expense. And that is who they are.

Unless you’re misgendering her too?

The cruelty and pettiness is on them. Not sure we want to go down that route too

As I've always told my kids when they were young - it's just a reflection of their own insecurities.

His name is J. D. Vance the so-called Vice
President.
As you all can see Miss Vance is wearing her blonde wig, a chain, a dress, and of course his celebrated eyeliner.
