How is it hateful or unprofessional?If they are uncomfortable they should just say 'Rep. McBride." Hateful, unprofessional communication says more about the speaker than the subject.
So call her "Representative McBride" if addressing her as "Ms. McBride" makes you uncomfortable.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.

I'm aware.
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.How is it hateful or unprofessional?
Well? They’re not acting like it doesn’t exist, rather they call a male a “Mr” because that’s their perspective.Do you call it "Christian?"

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 her gender identity, I am reminded of the image of the suffering Jesus.
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.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.
Biologically, he’s still a man. Rep McBride can live their life anyway they want. It’s no skin off my nose.I have seen Rep. McBride on The View. She was elected as a woman.

No more playing along with fantasy games.This is awesome. Congress isn't playing these woke games anymore. Video is only 1 minute long.
Your thoughts?
Addressing someone in a way that they have asked you not to is rude. Period.
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.Addressing someone in a way that they have asked you not to is rude. Period.
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.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.

Then, as I said, they can address her as "Representative McBride" if calling her "Ms. McBride" is too difficult.These are legal bodies, who use legal language from the start.
Perhaps on this occasion he decided to put truth and reality to the test.Then, as I said, they can address her as "Representative McBride" if calling her "Ms. McBride" is too difficult.
What should we say of practicing liars, cheats, and thieves? Better yet, what does God say of them?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.
They get elected President, apparently.What should we say of practicing liars, cheats, and thieves? Better yet, what does God say of them?
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.How is it hateful or unprofessional?
They get elected President, apparently.
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.So call her "Representative McBride" if addressing her as "Ms. McBride" makes you uncomfortable.
I can agree to that
