Rep. Tim McBride, the man identifying as a woman and currently serving in Congress, is upset with Rahm Emanuel. Why? Because Emanuel dared to say something rooted in reality: “A man cannot become a woman.” According to McBride, that simple biological fact is an “overcorrection.” That’s right. We now live in a world where stating obvious truths is considered extremist, at least by men like McBride who expect the rest of us to play along with their identity delusions.

When Stating Facts Becomes an “Overcorrection”

McBride’s outrage isn’t about science or fairness. It’s about control. His response to Emanuel’s comments has nothing to do with correcting misinformation and everything to do with maintaining the fantasy that drives his public persona. And it’s a fantasy Democrats have bent over backward to support. But this time, the delusion hit a wall of reality, and Rahm Emanuel was the brick.

Transgender Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) has highlighted another division among lost, leaderless Democrats by declaring Rahm Emanuel’s belief the party’s gone too far left on trans rights and his assertion men can’t become women is an “overcorrection.”

Emanuel, a seasoned Democrat and former Chicago mayor, didn’t say anything revolutionary. He simply reminded the public that men and women are not interchangeable. That used to be a universally accepted fact. Now it is treated as hate speech by the same crowd that demands we redefine womanhood to accommodate men in dresses.

Rahm Emanuel agrees that boys shouldn’t play in girl’s sports, that men claiming they’re women should not be allowed in women’s prisons and that a man can not become a women.

“We’re Not Going to Be Assholes”… Except to Reality

McBride, in an interview on a left-leaning podcast, called Emanuel’s remarks an overcorrection. He claimed that the problem is not Democratic policy, but rather that the party hasn’t explained things in a way that makes people “feel like they belong.”

McBride said she believes the party’s brand going forward should focus on working-class people and protecting democracy and stressed again that a core tenant of the party’s brand should be “we’re not going to be assholes to voters.” – Politico

Oh really? So now you’re not going to keep demanding I pretend you’re a woman?

The truth is that McBride is part of the wing of the Democratic Party that treats facts as negotiable and gender as a costume.

And the fact that someone like him holds a seat in Congress is a sign of just how far the country has slid into madness. We’re being asked to take seriously a man who wears pearls and lipstick, demands we call him “she,” and lashes out when someone points out that biology still exists.

Treating McBride Seriously Is the Actual Overcorrection

This isn’t just absurd, it’s still dangerous. When you allow people like McBride to rewrite the rules of language, law, and science, it doesn’t stop with pronouns. We’ve seen it spread into sports, schools, prisons, shelters, and public policy.

While recent executive orders under Trump have helped reestablish some protections for biological women, the broader cultural push to erase sex-based reality hasn’t slowed. We are still watching the deliberate erosion of womanhood dressed up as inclusion. And now that even some Democrats are beginning to show hesitation, activists like McBride are scrambling to tighten their grip.

And yet, despite all this, McBride is being treated not just as a member of Congress, but as a serious policymaker. That’s where the danger deepens, not just in what he says, but in how both parties react. When someone so openly hostile to biological truth co-sponsors a bill with Republicans, and it sails through the House without a single objection, we’re not just talking policy anymore. We’re talking optics. Legitimacy. Normalization.

This Is How Delusion Becomes Respectable

One of McBride’s first legislative moves was the Equal Opportunity for All Investors Act, a bill that seems harmless. It allows people to qualify as accredited investors by passing a financial exam, rather than meeting traditional wealth thresholds. It passed unanimously, praised by both parties, and hailed by activists as a shining example of bipartisan cooperation.

But that praise carries a cost. Because when Republicans line up to co-sign McBride’s legislation without question, it sends a message, intentional or not, that his public persona, his fantasy, and the ideology that props it up are now part of respectable governance. That this is just business as usual. That calling a man in lipstick “Congresswoman” is something we all agree to now. The bill may be about finance, but the symbolism is cultural. We are being conditioned to treat delusion as legitimacy, and that has consequences far beyond the House floor.

The Fine Print Isn’t Just in the Bill—It’s in the Culture

And for what it’s worth, the bill isn’t even all that revolutionary. It opens the door for Wall Street to target underprepared investors with high-risk, opaque financial products—all under the guise of “equal access.” But in a world where everyone’s trying to be polite, it’s easier to overlook the fine print.

This is where we are: celebrating delusion, legislating alongside it, and calling it progress. When truth becomes taboo and fantasy gets a seat at the policymaking table, the damage doesn’t stop with pronouns or pandering. It seeps into law, culture, and the very definitions that hold civil society together. Tim McBride is not just a symptom of the problem; he’s a symbol of how far the rot has spread. And unless Republicans find the spine to stop playing along, they’ll be complicit in the normalization of a lie that undermines reality itself.
