      He’s exactly the representation of all the red parts that Missouri has to offer all wrapped up in a stupid suit. Source: am from misery in the only tiny blue district we have left.

    Hey, let me try re-writing that headline:

    “Republican senator interjects transphobia into a hearing about banning abortion ; OBGYN refuses to misgender her trans masculine patients.”

    Men can absolutely get pregnant. Because trans men can get pregnant, and trans men are at least as much men as bigoted transphobia like Hawley.

      People really need to start treating these people like they’re fucking ignorant jackasses for bringing it up in the first place. Oh, you need it explained to you that only transgender men can get pregnant, not cisgender men? Okay, we can sit here and explain to your utterly mushy peas for brains ass that some transgender men still have the parts they were born with and still need gynecological care.

      Also couldn’t someone be considered “a man” but have a uterus. How hard would it have been for her to say that?

      It’s not like people who have had hysterectomys are suddenly men are they?

        Yeah, they spent most of the decade trying to get Bill and/or Hillary on something and ended up with…a stain on a dress.

        As the Clintons have aged and mostly left the stage, that “issue” has mostly lost its effectiveness. I suspect the trans thing will be something that animates them for quite some time. Though with all the white hot rage they have over BLM, Me Too, and losing on the gay marriage thing, I wonder if they won’t rely more on the golden oldies…

    Ignore that feeling in your gut, America. That’s probably just patriotic pride in your magnificent “democratic” representatives. Or diarrhea. One of those, probably.
