LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — It was pharmacist Gwendolyn Herzig’s first time testifying before a legislative committee when she spoke to several Arkansas lawmakers in a packed hearing room this month about a bill restricting gender-affirming care for minors.
Herzig, who is transgender, spoke out against the legislation and told the panel that one of the biggest obstacles trans people face is a lack of empathy. Only a few minutes later, a Republican lawmaker asked her an inappropriate question about her genitalia.
“It was horrifying,” she said.
During follow-up questions, Republican Sen. Matt McKee asked Herzig if she is transgender.
When she said yes, he asked: “Do you have a penis?”
The question was met with jeers and audible gasps in the packed committee room.
“That’s horrible,” Herzig responded, telling McKee that asking her such a question was inappropriate and noting she was testifying as a health care professional.
“I had never been so publicly humiliated in my life,” Herzig told The Associated Press in an interview days later.
Herzig said she probably would not have testified had she known she was going to be asked about her genitalia.
“I felt like I was pretty much prepared for any combative question,” she said. “Except that.”

“I had never been so publicly humiliated in my life,” Herzig told
Fake outrage from a fake woman.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Surprised “she” didn’t refer to “herself” as Lola.
“Horrifying rhetoric,” like facts?
No one is trans. Slicing organs is not “gender affirming care.” Delusions should not be validated.
Gwendolyn Herzig is an embarrassment to the United States, to the human race, and to the Milky Way galaxy.
Transgender freaks are horrible, perverts so it is all good.
Apparently, one is permitted to be a complete freak. One is not permitted to question the complete freak about his freakishness.
One of today’s N examples (where N is a large number) that journalists compete with NEA members for the bottom of the IQ barrel.
I read the title as “Trans people face ‘horrifying’ rhetoric at steakhouses”.
Need more coffee.
:-D
“Herzig said she probably would not have testified had she known she was going to be asked about her genitalia.”
Well hell.......wasn’t that the point of the WHOLE hearing???
What did he think he was gonna ask......what his favorite color is???
“...These people are truly insane.....”
Without a doubt.
And it wasn’t that long ago, they were kept locked up in state mental institutions, not out in the general populace spewing their insane garbage.
They’re facing reality.
Says the dude who goes out in public dressed as a girl...
I think these people are actually into humiliation - as a sex fetish.
Trans people , You mean mentally deranged people don’t you?
Re #3, if I was on a date and found out it had a penis, it would be fish food real quick.
The horror! The horror! - Col. Kurtz
Maybe next time you should ask He/She/It if they have a dead anchovy between their legs
