Two UC medical leaders declined to give direct yes-or-no answers when Rep. Mary Miller asked at a House hearing whether non-biological women can have babies or whether someone with a uterus can be not be a woman.
Miller tied the questions to UCSF and UCLA teaching materials that use terms such as “pregnant people” and warn students not to assume gender identity, arguing the language reflects DEI-driven curriculum changes.
UCSF Chancellor Sam Hawgood said a transgender person can have a baby and that the terminology helps students treat diverse patients, while UCLA dean Steve Dubinett said the school treats transgender people in compliance with state and federal law.
After the hearing, Miller said medical schools consumed by political ideology are abandoning scientific truth and should lose accreditation; the committee hearing examined DEI’s effects on admissions, antisemitism and curricula.
