House Meeting Adjourned After McBride Is Misgendered

The first transgender person elected to Congress is being misgendered on Capitol Hill.

In a House committee meeting Tuesday, Delaware Democrat Sarah McBride was introduced by committee chairman Keith Self as "Mr. McBride."

McBride then responded to the Texas Republican by saying, "Thank you, Madame Chair."

Massachusetts Democrat Bill Keating then came to the defense of McBride asking Self to repeat his introduction.

Self said he was following the standard of the floor on the House.

After Keating asked Self if he had any decency, the chairman banged his gavel and quickly adjourned the meeting.
