Summary
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) introduced a resolution to ban transgender women from using female bathrooms in the Capitol, citing “women’s rights” and opposing the “radical left.”
The move comes ahead of Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.), the first openly transgender member of Congress, taking office.
McBride criticized the measure as a divisive distraction from real issues like housing and healthcare costs.
LGBTQ advocates condemned the resolution as discriminatory, aligning it with broader Republican anti-trans policies emphasized in their platform and political ads.
Given that there will be only one openly trans member of Congress, you can assume any time she goes to the restroom some Republican will report on which bathroom she goes into.
Nobody is as concerned with other people’s genitals as conservatives.
And they’ll cite all the fines that shitgibbon from Georgia got for not wearing a mask and trying to bring guns into Congress as proof they can.
