While debating H.R. 1028, the "Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act" in the House Judiciary Committee on 3 February, Wyoming Republican Representative Harriet Hageman declared the term cisgender to be a "made-up word".

"Cisgender is a made-up word. That means nothing," Hageman said. "Do not call me cisgender. I am a woman."

Rep. Hageman went on the declare that the term "epitomises the Left's ongoing effort to rewrite the English language in order to change the debate and destroy civil order".
