I love how this woman (gasp) is being held up by Democrats as an example of a “strong Democrat woman” who rebuked that nasty Josh Hawley. Even media sources like Yahoo were running stories about how she bravely “clapped back” at him. But back in the real world, most people who understand biology know that men can’t get pregnant, so the joke’s on her. I thought Democrats were “the party of science™” anyway. /shrug.

You might need a remedial biology class. I identify as a deity who is all knowing. You're wrong.

she is still a she... and yes as a female she can get pregnant....

she will NEVER be able to change her chromosomes, she will never be a y-chrome

if you are born a female, that is what you are... if you "think" your a male...then you have a neurological problem

People born with XY chromosomes, or XXY or any other variant with a "Y", can NOT get pregnant. Males can't have babies...period.

Ironically, these are the same people that told us to "Trust the Science" during the peak of Covid.

Yep. Any status associated with higher education is long gone. In fact, college degrees in certain disciplines are red flags for the inability to think logically/rationally. Throw in the "Berkeley Factor" and you have a genuine insane asylum masquerading as an institution of learning.

For those who believe that men can get pregnant, and that a biological woman can literally become a man, I have a question for you.

Let's say a trans-man is severely ill and goes to the hospital. "He" goes to the ER. Medical staff needs to know "his" actual sex at birth to treat him properly. Is it more important that staff accept that he is a man, and treat him with protocols appropriate for a man, or should they use their common sense and intelligence, and base treatment on the fact that "he" is, in actuality, a woman?

It's one thing to extend kindness to a person who is different, struggling, and/or possibly mentally ill. It is an entirely different matter to disregard the most basic biological principles and facts and join in the falsehoods of others.

it's all a big mess.

They rail against binary 'constructs' , yet demand you recognize them as one.
Rail against binary stereotypes yet use those stereotypes to determine if a child fits one or the other.
