 Josh Hawley indicted of transphobic line of questioning during sharp exchange with law professor 

 Washington( CNN) RepublicanSen. Josh Hawley of Missouri was indicted by a law professor of engaging in a line of transphobic questioning during a hail Tuesday on the legal consequences of the Supreme Court's reversal of Roev. Wade. 

 Following the Supreme Court's ruling last month, some revolutionaries have decreasingly used the term" pregnant people"-- as opposed to" women"-- to relate to those whose right to revocation they seek to cover, in an trouble to fete that ambisexual men andnon-binary people are also affected by the court's decision, which capsized the 1973 corner ruling that had made access to revocation a civil indigenous right. 

" You relate to' people with a capacity for gestation.' Would that be women?" Hawley asked Khiara Islands, a law professor at UC Berkeley School of Law, during the sharp exchange at the Senate Judiciary Committee hail. 

" numerous women, cis women, have the capacity for gestation, numerous cis women don't have the capacity for gestation," Islands replied." There are also trans men who are able of gestation, as well asnon-binary people who are able of gestation." 

Pressed by Hawley about what Bridges' view of" the core of this right, also, is about," the professor asserted that Hawley's questioning was transphobic because he was effectively denying the actuality of trans men andnon-binary people. 

" I want to fete that your line of questioning is transphobic and it opens up trans people to violence by not feting them," Islands said, to which the assemblyman responded incredulously. 

 

 Hawley's focus on the inclusive language comes as both revocation rights and trans rights have come political flashpoints around the country, with Democratic state lawgivers passing a slew of restrictive measures on both fronts in recent months and times. 

 Islands went on to note that trans people suffer from high rates of tried self-murder, adding" Denying that trans people live and pretending not to know that they live is dangerous." 

 She asked the assemblyman directly if he believes that men can get pregnant. 

" No, I do not suppose men can get pregnant," Hawley said, to which the professor replied" So you are denying that trans people live." 

" Is this how you run your classroom? Are scholars allowed to question you or are they also treated like this?" Hawley asked. 

" We've a good time in my class," Islands shot back." You should join. You might learn a lot."
