"I now recognize the Representative from Deleware, Mr. McBride."

[RileyG]

If they are uncomfortable they should just say 'Rep. McBride." Hateful, unprofessional communication says more about the speaker than the subject.

How is it hateful or unprofessional?

I'm not sure how requesting that people address you a certain way is "controlling people's speech." My friend John went by Harry his whole childhood. They days, he prefers Jack. I've never felt like he was trying to control my speech - I call him by his preferred name because that's polite. It doesn't affect me one way or another what name he goes by.

No one's calling her a victim. I just said that people were being rude. Because they are.

So call her "Representative McBride" if addressing her as "Ms. McBride" makes you uncomfortable.

I'm aware.

So call her "Representative McBride" if addressing her as "Ms. McBride" makes you uncomfortable.

I can agree to that

Do you call it "Christian?" These "Christian" representatives are acting on their belief that transgenderism doesn't exist---but in response, they don't follow the Gospel of love and compassion Jesus preached.
Jesus, in his passion, was insulted and derided. He has been in Rep. McBride's situation, cursed and spat upon.
Jesus knows the hearts of the insulters and knows there is nothing Christ-like in their remarks.
When I see a person scorned because of his or her gender identity, I am reminded of the image of the suffering Jesus.

Well? They’re not acting like it doesn’t exist, rather they call a male a “Mr” because that’s their perspective.

Remember what Jesus told the woman caught in adultery?

She was going to be stoned to death.

He told her:
Go and sin no more.

Embrace the person, not the sin. From the Christian perspective.

Well done the chairman.

I have seen Rep. McBride on The View. She was elected as a woman. She was sent by Delaware as a woman. She presents as a bright, articulate person with solid accomplishments in the state legislature. Her desire is to serve her constituents well, not fight off boorish, mawkish comments from detractors. Let her do her job, and I advise her detractors to do the same. *I am using "her" because the citizens of Delaware sent her as a woman.

Biologically, he’s still a man. Rep McBride can live their life anyway they want. It’s no skin off my nose.

This is awesome. Congress isn't playing these woke games anymore. Video is only 1 minute long.

Your thoughts?

No more playing along with fantasy games.

Also it would've been great if Mr. McBride had said "you cut that out now, or you'll go home in an ambulance".

 

[Hazelelponi]

Addressing someone in a way that they have asked you not to is rude. Period.

These are legal bodies, who use legal language from the start.

If someone wants to pretend they are something outside of their legal and biological reality at their home is their purogative. During legal proceedings of any kind is not.

Plus, agreeing with someone's delusion IS lying to them, and that's against any Christian's moral code of conduct. We cannot lie - well we can physically but it's sin, and we maybe aren't Christian in the first place if we do, according to the Bible.

It would be religious discrimination to attempt to force or coerce a Christian to tell a lie.. Christians have the God-given right enshrined in the U.S. Constitution to practice their faith and not face discrimination for it.

"You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies". John 8:44

(Bible verse)

No one should be required to indulge someone's fantasy no matter how far they take it. If McBride "identified" as a princess and wore a tiara, no one should be required to address him as "Your Royal Highness". And if some congressman actually decided to do that, probably no one would go along with it, and he would probably be told to leave the room.

There is absolutely NOTHING at all Christ like about transgenderism. I am 1,000% certain that transgenderism goes against any and all the teachings and verses in the Bible on the topics of sex and gender. Therefore, I am always going to address a transgender person using their biological gender from when he or she came out of their mother's womb.

 

[RocksInMyHead]

These are legal bodies, who use legal language from the start.

Then, as I said, they can address her as "Representative McBride" if calling her "Ms. McBride" is too difficult.

 

[Freth]

This pretty much sums it up to me.

2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.​

 

[Fantine]

I am not condoning transgenderism, just as I do not condone lying, cheating, stealing, or any other sin.
I remind you that Jesus continually reached out to the ostracized, the scorned. He saw the image of God in them and, as fully human, knew what rejection and scorn felt like.
As I said, McBride can be addressed as Representative, and "debates" can be about the topics they are paid to discuss, currently the federal budget. Rep. McBride's gender is irrelevant to the issue the House is grappling with.
The state of Delaware amends birth certificates of transgender individuals who submit medical affidavits.

Legally Rep. McBride is listed as female on the birth registry.

Perhaps on this occasion he decided to put truth and reality to the test.

What should we say of practicing liars, cheats, and thieves? Better yet, what does God say of them?

They get elected President, apparently.

 

[The IbanezerScrooge]

Because the chairmen address her that way to be "accurate." He did it to malign a sitting member of Congress. He did it to publicly demean and disrespect her. Possibly even to elicit a reaction as happened. It was indeed hateful and unprofessional.

So call her "Representative McBride" if addressing her as "Ms. McBride" makes you uncomfortable.

I can agree to that

Do they leave off Mr or gentle Lady for everyone else? If not, the man who thinks he is a women needs to sit down and shut up. He deserves no special privileges because he is confused.
