Bridges accused the senator of peppering her with a line of transphobia during the hearing.
Bridges accused Hawley of asking questions that could lead to violence against the trans community during an exchange at the hearing. Bridges was asked if she treated her students the way she was accused of doing.
The dispute began when Hawley asked about pregnant women.
People with a capacity for pregnancies have been referred to you. The senator asked Bridges if that would be women.
There are many cis women who have the ability to have a baby. Bridges said that many cis women don't have the capacity for pregnancies. There are people who are capable of being pregnant as well as people who aren't.
Bridges replied, "Your view, the core of this right is about what."

Bridges said that he wanted to recognize that the line of questioning was transphobia.
It's amazing. Do you mean that I am opening up people to violence by asking if women can have babies? The man asked the woman if she knew anything.
Studies show that 1 in 5 trans people attempt suicide.
The professor was stopped by Hawley after she said that it was because of her questions. We can't talk about it.
Bridges said that Hawley's questions were "denying that trans people exist and faking not to know that they exist."
She asked the senator if he believed men could get pregnant.
I don't think men are capable of getting pregnant.
Bridges said that he was denying that trans people existed and that led to violence.
Is this the way you teach? Do students have the right to question you, or are they treated the same way? The man said, "Haley said."
We have fun in my class. She told them to join. You would gain a lot of knowledge.
