You\u2019ve referred to \u2018people with a capacity for pregnancy,\u2019\u201d Hawley pointed out, then asked bluntly. \u201cWould that be women?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany women, cis women, have the capacity for pregnancy; many cis women do not have the capacity for pregnancy,\u201d Bridges asserted. \u201cThere are also trans men who are capable of pregnancy as well as non-binary people who are capable of pregnancy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo this isn\u2019t really a women\u2019s rights issue,\u201d Hawley commented. \u201cIt\u2019s a what?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can recognize that this impacts women while also recognizing that it also impacts other groups,\u201d Bridges said loftily. \u201cThose things are not mutually exclusive, Senator Hawley.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo your view is that the Court \u2014 this right, then, is about what?\u201d Hawley asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I want to recognize that your line of questioning is transphobic,\u201d Bridges charged, then laughed haughtily before continuing, \u201cand it opens up trans people to violence by not recognizing them \u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWow, you\u2019re saying that I\u2019m opening up people to violence by asking whether or not women are the only folks who can have pregnancies?\u201d Hawley reacted.<\/p>\n<p>Bridges deflected, \u201cSo I wanna note that one out of five transgender persons has attempted suicide. So I think it\u2019s important \u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause of my line of questioning? So we can\u2019t talk about it?\u201d Hawley asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause denying that trans people exist and pretending not to know that they exist,\u201d Bridges started her diatribe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m denying that trans people exist by asking you if you\u2019re talking about women having pregnancies?\u201d Hawley repeated in disbelief.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you? Are you? Are you? Do you believe that men can get pregnant?\u201d Bridges fired.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I don\u2019t think men can get pregnant,\u201d Hawley said simply.<\/p>\n<p>Smirking, Bridges began, \u201cSo you\u2019re denying that trans people exist \u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that leads to violence? Is this how you run your classroom?\u201d Hawley shot back. \u201cAre students allowed to question you \u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely,\u201d Bridges interrupted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2014 or are they also treated like this, where they\u2019re told that they\u2019re opening up people to violence by questioning \u2014\u201d Hawley attempted to finish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a good time in my class,\u201d Bridges boasted.<\/p>\n<p>Hawley said quietly, \u201cI bet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bridges, not done patronizing, said smugly, \u201cYou should join. You might learn a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hawley concluded, \u201cWow. I would learn a lot. I\u2019ve learned a lot in this exchange.
