A U.S. Senator was booed at during a university commencement ceremony after acknowledging the existence of only male and female sexes as a “fundamental scientific truth.”

Sen. Cynthia Lummis, a Republican representing Wyoming, delivered her commencement address to the new graduates at the University of Wyoming (UW) on May 14. Toward the end of her 20-minute speech, the senator said the students are entering a “disruptive, transformative time” where “individual rights and individual life” are constantly challenged by governments equipped with better technologies.
