Virginia Dems halt hearing after Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears called trans senator 'sir'

Legislative activity in Virginia’s senate chamber was temporarily suspended after Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears referred to Sen. Danica Roem as “sir” when answering a question about the number of votes needed for a bill. Roem is a man who identifies as a woman, and he is the first trans-identifying individual elected to the state Senate in the South.
