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.
Ah, okay, they covered their bases. But conservatives forget trans men exist all the time, so it’s probably an afterthought.
Oh, I expect they forgot trans men existed when they wrote the law. Once extremely masculine trans men start using the women’s bathroom, as they are legally illogically required to do, Republicans will backpedal…who am I kidding, that wouldn’t happen until midterms at the earliest, and by then they’ll just be shooting trans people.
I’m sorry for the state of your country. I hope mine doesn’t follow, though they seem to be.
