During a United States Senate hearing on abortion access on Tuesday, University of California Berkeley Law Professor Khiara Bridges schooled Senator Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) over how right-wing rhetoric endangers the lives of transgender individuals.
Hawley was noticeably annoyed by the idea that cisgender women are not the only people who can get pregnant. Bridges tried to explain that right-wing rhetoric that excludes transgender Americans from the conversation endangers their lives.
