(WASHINGTON) — Rep. Sarah McBride, D-Del., the first transgender person elected to Congress, continues to face attacks from her Republican colleagues, who have repeatedly misgendered her on the House floor and in committee hearings.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, it happened again during a House foreign affairs subcommittee meeting.<\/p>\n

Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, introduced McBride, saying: “I now recognize the representative from Delaware: Mr. McBride.”<\/p>\n

McBride then responded, “Thank you, Madame Chair,” hitting back at Self.<\/p>\n

However, as McBride started her line of questioning, Rep. Bill Keating, D-Mass., the ranking member of the subcommittee, interjected.<\/p>\n

“Mr. Chairman, could you repeat your introduction again, please?” he asked.<\/p>\n

Self argued, without elaborating, that he was following “the standard on the floor of the House.”<\/p>\n

Keating grew irate with Self, asking him to repeat his introduction of McBride. However, Self doubled down.<\/p>\n

“I will. The representative from Delaware: Mr. McBride,” Self said.<\/p>\n

McBride sat there as a back-and-forth ensued between the chairman and the ranking member.<\/p>\n

“Mr. Chairman, you are out of order. Mr. Chairman, have you no decency?” Keating said.<\/p>\n

“We will continue this hearing,” Self responded, attempting to move the committee hearing along.<\/p>\n

“You will not continue it with me unless you introduce a duly elected representative the right way,” Keating said.<\/p>\n

However, Self still did not change his rhetoric. Rather, he called for the hearing to be adjourned.<\/p>\n

In a statement to ABC News Tuesday, McBride said she was “disappointed” by the decision to end the hearing early.<\/p>\n

“I was prepared to move forward with my questions for the Subcommittee on nuclear nonproliferation and US support for Democratic allies in Europe,” she said.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time McBride has been misgendered or has been the center of policy changes as it relates to transgender people.<\/p>\n

Before McBride was sworn into office, Republican members worked to place a ban on transgender women from using women’s restrooms at the U.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n

In late November, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., announced as policy that transgender women cannot use women’s restrooms at the Capitol and in House office buildings, as well as in changing rooms and locker rooms.<\/p>\n

“It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol,” Johnson said in a statement announcing the policy. “Women deserve women’s only spaces.”<\/p>\n

Then, before giving her first floor speech on Feb. 8, McBride was misgendered by Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill.<\/p>\n

“The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Delaware, Mr. McBride,” Miller said.<\/p>\n
