House Speaker Mike Johnson clarified his stance on transgender issues on Tuesday, emphasizing that he believes a man is a man and a woman is a woman, and that a man cannot become a woman. Johnson highlighted that while his beliefs are rooted in Scripture, he also advocates for treating everyone with dignity and respect.
Johnson's comments came after a reporter questioned whether Rep.-elect Sarah McBride, a transgender individual, is a man or a woman. Johnson initially declined to answer the question, stating that all duly elected representatives are welcomed with open arms and should be treated with dignity and respect.
