Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina introduced the resolution as Rep.-elect Sarah McBride, D-Del., is set to become the first out transgender member of Congress.

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.

    So women should use the mens bathroom? Is that what they are getting at?

    How are they going to enforce it?

        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.
