Anything word preceded by a trans is way too complicated for Republicans.

Excerpt from the link up in the OP ...
During a town hall meeting last week, Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) claimed to be ignorant of trans-vaginal ultrasounds and their recent involvement in the debate over abortion rights.
Duffy was asked whether he supported the Womans Right to Know her Unborn Child Act, which would require a woman to receive a trans-vaginal ultrasound prior to terminating her pregnancy. Top Republicans in the Wisconsin legislature have said the bill was a priority and long overdue.
But Duffy said he didnt know what a trans-vaginal ultrasound was.
I havent had one, he remarked.
