House Republican introduces measure to ban transgender women from female bathrooms in Capitol

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.

What an absolute piece of shit.

Like every word she speaks is TERF propaganda, which she recognizes: She Twitted "Full TERF".

She says "He is a biological man. End of. Period."

She makes a point that she is not willing to discuss or find common ground by any criteria (not even the safety and dignity of trans women themselves).

This is a savage and barbaric, blatant display of bigotry and hatred, a disgusting outlook for any human, and totally unworthy of respect in decent society.

Thoughts out to Sarah Mac Bride that has to face this and still keeps her cool.

To me banning transgender use of public spaces and bathrooms should be listed as a hate crime and be heavily fined.

I hope her motion is rejected, she should be ashamed of her ridiculous self.

But they're not being banned from ALL bathrooms, only bathrooms designated for biological females.

No, they are not administering genetic tests to make sure only XX people are allowed in. They are surely using birth certificate as a proxy. But there are plenty of people AFAB who would not qualify as biological females.
