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.
Yes but what are they enforcing? If you have a dick you go in the mens room, or if you were born with a dick you go in the mens room? And what are you using to verify the status of said dick? It’s all dumb. You go into a bathroom and you shut the latch. If someone is crawling under stall doors and peaking/harrassing someone they should be outed and charged no matter what the gender/sex/bathroom they are in.
If a man was crawling under my stall in the mens room, I would want him charged as well. It’s stupid to think gender matters there somehow.
They know who the trans legislator is. This is a specific personal attack
I think we know the sex and gender of every rep, no? Its a finite population that doesn’t change often.
In this case its a woman who is openly trans, so we know their gender assigned at birth is male. I dont see any need to lift her skirt to enforce this law, if passed.
Also if you think that fascists have no issue with harrasing people, you have no grasp on how bad things are about to get…
Nah I just don’t think they could agree they would want someone with a cock in the women’s room, which if they passed this law, it won’t disappear immediately when a man who born a woman is required to use the women’s room. They would be setting themselves up for that. I think a lot of it is inherently sexist, thinking women are weak so they couldn’t handle themselves in a room without another man to protect them, or they are insecure and don’t trust that they would not do whatever their jealousy is driving them to think. Notice it is rare to hear someone worried about women who transition to men using the mens room. If they were really worried about who they consider women, they would be worried about them being taken advantage of in the mens room as well.
It seems to apply to the entire capitol groups, so it would apply to everyone visiting the capitol. I hope a group of trans men arranges a never-ending parade of trans men using the women’s restrooms at the capitol.
Male janitors walk all the time into women bathrooms. No one gives a shit.
