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.

    I say replace all the bathrooms with genderless-only ones. You can’t use them if you have any gender, sorry.
