Rep. Randy Fine labels trans men pregnancy 'crazy' at House hearing

The U.S. House Education and Labor Committee held a hearing titled “Activist training, not medical: the impact of DEI on medical schools.” Republican lawmakers pressed medical school leaders to adopt inclusive language such as “pregnant people.” Rep. Randy Fine of Florida described the notion of trans men becoming pregnant as “crazy.” UCSF Chancellor Sam Hawgood responded that the curriculum aims to prepare students for a diverse patient population, acknowledges that a transgender person can become pregnant, and said he uses the term “pregnant women” in practice. Representative Mary Miller questioned Hawgood about the guide’s recommendation to replace “pregnant women” with “pregnant people,” prompting the exchange that drew Fine’s criticism.
