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.

    Jesus fucking Christ. This reminds me of “Whites Only” bathrooms and water fountains. It’s nothing more than trying to dehumanize people by attacking their basic needs.

      it’s one to one the same thing. they just moved the target. the so-called arguments about safety and purity are exactly the same.
