Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, on Newsmax, Monday, vowed to use his office “to stand against” the transgender rights movement after he and Rep. Bill Keating, D-Mass., clashed over his use of masculine pronouns to refer to Rep. Sarah McBride, D-Del., a transgender woman.
During a meeting of the House Foreign Affairs Europe Subcommittee last Tuesday, Keating took offense to Self calling McBride “Mr. McBride” when introducing her, saying that Self, who chairs the panel, was “out of order.” Self adjourned the meeting after Keating said he “will not continue it with me unless you introduce a duly elected representative the right way.”
When asked about the incident, Self said on “National Report,” “I still don’t know what the fuss is about,” noting that he thought the issue of McBride’s preferred pronouns was settled in January when she agreed to comply with the policy renewed under House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., disallowing transgender women from using women’s restrooms in the Capitol building.
