flag Republican rep misgenders Congressmember McBride, sparking dispute and early adjournment of hearing.

During a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee hearing, Republican Rep. Keith Self referred to Rep. Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress, as "Mr. McBride." This misgendering led to an argument with Rep. Bill Keating, the top Democrat, who demanded a proper introduction. Self adjourned the hearing after the dispute. Meanwhile, Republican Rep. Nancy Mace and Speaker Mike Johnson have backed efforts to ban transgender individuals from using single-sex facilities on federal property, a move McBride disagrees with but plans to follow.
