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 was at a bar that did this. Each toilet in its own little room (no stalls with gaps along the floor and doors). Besides a little initial confusion to make sure I wasn’t walking into the wrong restroom, it was perfectly fine.

      No no. I think it was the Stockholm airport, for example. Each private stall had a loo and sink and like 1/2 gaps at the bottom; perhaps in case of flooding. It was the private spa of airport bathrooms.

      My family there says it’s less about protecting people of different attributes from our own : they just can’t be arsed to delineate when it makes no difference and costs more to maintain.

      Mix the bathrooms, ensure individual privacy, and everybody still poops.
