This is not a hard question to answer. It's incredibly easy, as a matter of fact.
So leave it to GOP leadership to utterly fail at it.
Reporter: 'Is freshman-elect Sarah McBride a man or a woman?'
Johnson: 'Look, I'm not gonna get into this. We welcome all new members with open arms who are duly elected representatives of the people. I believe it's a command, we treat all persons with dignity and respect. We will. And I'm not going to engage in silly debates about this. There's a concern about the uses of restroom facilities and locker rooms and all that. This is an issue that Congress has never had to address before. We're gonna do that in deliberate fashion with member consensus on it. And we will accommodate the needs of every single person. That's all I'm gonna say about that.'
When a leader of the nominally conservative party says it's a "silly debate" whether a mentally ill man who thinks he's a woman is, in fact, a woman:
I think it's a pretty important debate actually Speaker Johnson! Especially for the women of Congress who have to use the bathroom next to an unwell man!
Let's hope the GOP toughens up under Trump. Because this is pathetic.
