“I’m actually going somewhere with this,” he said to lawmakers in the small chamber.

“Because I want to know, how does a 14-year-old girl prove whether or not she’s trans to a 50-year-old coach?”

“I don’t think that’s an appropriate question to be asking here today,” BeGole said, shutting McFall down.

Did BeGole realized what he said or no?

Should have asked to see the genitals.

I've been party to similar conversations where the man I was talking to literally grabbed his crotch in response to a similar question. He really thought genital examination of children was acceptable.

I turned and walked away. You cannot reach some people. We must simply guard ourselves against them.

"Are you?" This man really thought he had something by turning the question around. Brain of a literal toddler
