Imagine thinking that the ability to actually get pregnant in the first place has nothing to do with a discussion around abortion.

The mental pretzels you idiots will twist yourselves into is so insane it is actually entertaining.

Male/female = gender
Man/woman = sex

For the record I will never agree with this. The radicals are trying to change the meaning. Those things have always meant the same thing...and it's always been tied to sex. Sex and gender mean the same thing and it's not malleable.

If you are a man who wants to be a woman and dress that way and put on "woman face", go for it. But you are not and will never be either a) a woman, or b) a female. Period. No amount of hormones or bodily mutilation will change that.

No offense, but I think your reaction is as dumb and unnecessary as this lady’s response.

If the senator would say can people who were born male get pregnant, she could just answer the question.

It doesn’t cost him or you or me anything to let somebody who feels like they want to identify as this or that to do that. We’ve had people get sex changes for decades.

Yes, words matter. Can men get pregnant? No. Of course not. But you could add a couple of extra words there to take away the gotcha moment, but he wants the gotcha moment. Mainly to stir up people like you.

We always talk about freedom on this board, but apparently what we really want is freedom for the things that we agree with or are comfortable with.

Or she could have just answered the question and moved on. It's an extremely simple and direct question that has an extremely simple anser.

A yes or no question was absolutely weilded as a political tool for a douchebag to create a viral social video for himself. Her mistake was politely trying to deflect an off-topic question instead of just telling him to frick off.

Can't wait to walk up to teacher conferences next month and ask the science teacher if men can pregnant or not and just watch her squirm, as she politely holds back from calling me an idiot. I care about the truth that much. So much that I'll interrupt something unrelated to acquire that truth. Who cares that I'm absolutely distracting from the issue at hand, my child's failing grade? I have virtue signal points to achieve on the internet!

You could have just saved some time and typed that you believe men can get pregnant.
