Republican Rep. Andrew Clyde of Georgia delivered a dose of biological reality to the House floor Monday when he formally recognized transgender Democrat Sarah McBride as "the gentleman from Delaware" during parliamentary proceedings.
The Georgia conservative's refusal to bow to woke gender ideology sent shockwaves through the Democrat establishment and delighted Americans who are tired of being forced to deny basic science. Clyde's statement - "The Chair now recognizes the gentleman from Delaware, Representative McBride for 5 minutes" - was a masterclass in standing firm against the left's assault on biological truth.
Social media erupted in support of Clyde's common-sense approach. Political commentator Alex Nitzberg noted the significance of the moment, posting: "House Republican @Rep_Clyde recognizes Dem @Rep_McBride, who identifies as a transgender woman, as 'the gentleman from Delaware.'"
"Rep. Andrew Clyde says what we have all been thinking.... 'The Chair now recognizes the GENTLEMAN from Delaware, Representative McBride for 5 minutes.' Tim McBride. NOT Sarah. It's genetics. Sorry,"
posted @TeamTrump47, capturing what millions of Americans were thinking.
This bold move comes as the Trump-Vance administration works to roll back the Biden regime's radical gender ideology that infected every corner of government. Under Trump's leadership, Republicans are finally finding their backbone to push back against the woke mob's demands that Americans deny basic biology.
McBride, who was born male but claims to identify as female, represents the Delaware district and has been pushing the left's transgender agenda since taking office. But Clyde's refusal to participate in the charade shows that not all Republicans will bend the knee to politically correct nonsense.
The moment represents a broader awakening among conservatives who refuse to be bullied into using "preferred pronouns" or pretending that men can become women simply by declaring it. With President Trump back in the White House and Republicans controlling Congress, expect more lawmakers to follow Clyde's example.
Will other GOP representatives finally grow a spine and stop playing the left's word games? The American people are watching - and they're clearly ready for leaders who won't surrender to woke ideology.
