Rep. Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress, clapped back at Republican Rep. Keith Self on Wednesday after he intentionally misgendered her — and it’s got the Internet buzzing.
The incident happened during a hearing for the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe. At the time, Self, who was holding the congressional hearing, called on McBride to speak, addressing her as “Mr. McBride.”
McBride replied in turn, saying, “Thank you, Madam Chair.”
