Congresswoman Sarah McBride, the first out transgender member of Congress, criticized Republicans for their obsession with her gender identity rather than addressing important policy matters affecting Americans. Her comments followed an incident where Republican Rep. Keith Self misgendered her in a hearing, which prompted a rebuke from Democratic colleagues. McBride highlighted a recent bathroom ban imposed by GOP leadership that marginalizes transgender individuals, further criticizing Republican attacks directed at her since taking office. She urged that more attention be given to pressing issues like lowering costs for families and improving government effectiveness.
McBride stated, "I wish that they would spend even a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me, thinking about how to lower the costs for American families."
McBride emphasized, "I appear to live rent-free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues," illustrating the fixation on her gender identity.
