House hearing ends abruptly after Republican misgenders trans member

Heated exchange after subcommittee chair Keith Self calls first out trans representative Sarah McBride Mr McBride'

The Republican chair of a US House subcommittee adjourned a hearing after he was challenged for misgendering Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress.

McBride, a first-term Democratic congresswoman from Delaware, elected last November, shot back at the chair and a senior Democrat on the committee also spoke up to challenge the insult.
