Transgender women are not permitted to use the women’s facilities in the Capitol and House office buildings, according to House Speaker Mike Johnson. According to Johnson, this also holds true for locker and changing areas.
“All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings — such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms — are reserved for individuals of that biological sex,” the statement read.
According to Johnson, “It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol.”
McBride said, “I’m not here to fight about bathrooms,” in response to Johnson on Wednesday. I’m here to advocate for Delawareans and reduce.
The expenses that families must bear. Even if I disagree with Speaker Johnson’s rules, I will abide by them just like every other member.
When Rep.-elect Sarah McBride entered Congress, Mace declared Tuesday that the bill she sponsored to prohibit transgender women from using women’s toilets at the U.S.
Capitol was “absolutely” in reaction. “Yes, without a doubt. At the Capitol, Mace told reporters, “And then some.”
“I’m not going to stand for a man, you know, someone with a penis, in the women’s locker room,” she stated.
Although it’s unclear exactly how Johnson intends to implement this policy, House rules grant the speaker “general control” over the facilities.
McBride will be the first openly transgender member of Congress after she was elected earlier this month to serve as Delaware’s only representative in the House.
“This effort to distract from the real issues facing this country hasn’t distracted me over the last several days,
As I’ve remained hard at work preparing to represent the greatest state in the union come January,” McBride said in a statement on Wednesday.
The Democratic Women’s Caucus and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries have backed McBride in reaction to Mace. Republicans are viciously targeting.
Our new Member to divert attention from their incapacity to rule, rather than concentrating on cutting costs and finding practical solutions to enhance the health and safety of women and families.
The women’s caucus posted on X, “We won’t stand for it.” McBride is being bullied by Republicans, according to Jeffries.
“This incoming, small, House Republican Conference majority is beginning to transition to the new Congress by bullying a member of Congress,”
Jeffries stated on Tuesday. Do we have this in mind? Is this the lesson you learned from the November election?
Instead of welcome her to join this body so that we can all work together to accomplish things and provide tangible results for the American people, is bullying a member of Congress your top priority?
