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.

    The party of Identity politics.

    People seem to think the Dems are so pro-trans when they don’t really do anything. Republicans just come up with random ways to make trans people’s lives more difficult for no reason.

    That’s pretty rich coming from the party that supports people taking a dump on Capitol desks.

    citing “women’s rights” and opposing the “radical left.”

    You can expect this to be the template for when they want to pass anything.

    Don’t worry Nancy. Just like all of the straight men out there, trans women don’t want to touch you either.

    You don’t have to introduce legislature protecting yourself from non-existent threats.

      By vibe. If you’re passable you’re fine, if you don’t visibly match your gender presentation well enough, jail

      They plan to set up a genital inspection booth in front of the restrooms where a eunuch will examine all persons wishing to use the restroom.
