The member of congress to whom Jen is referring is former US Representative Todd Akin (R - Missouri). The full quote is:

“Well you know, people always want to try to make that as one of those things, well how do you, how do you slice this particularly tough sort of ethical question. First of all, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something. I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child.”
— Todd Akin (R - Missouri)

He said it on St. Louis television station KTVI on August 19, 2012 during a local news interview (starting at the 2-minute mark of the Pt. 2 video): https://fox2now.com/news/jaco-report/the-jaco-report-august-19-2012/

Jen is referring to the El Dorado Gender Reveal Fire - this was not the first incident. The assigned gender of the fire was not reported in the articles. Other Gender Reveal incidents that are being referred to:

The blogger who popularized gender-reveal parties, Jenna Myers Karvunidis, has said that she regrets inspiring these parties, and after learning about the El Dorado fire, she said to “stop having these stupid parties”.

When recalling that xe has been turned down by someone who was 4’11” (150cm), Justin forgot to mention that xe is 5’8 (173cm). Average height for AMAB African Americans in the US is 5’10 (178cm).
