Republican Wants To Block First Openly Trans Congresswoman From Using The Bathroom
HuffPost
Rep. Nancy Mace (R) introduced the resolution, saying it was "common sense" while using demeaning language about her future colleague.
Republican Rep. Nancy Mace (S.C.) introduced a measure to ban transgender women from using the women’s bathrooms at the Capitol, just weeks after the state of Delaware elected the first openly transgender member of Congress.
The resolution, if passed, would prohibit those in Congress, officers and employees of the House of Representatives from using single-sex facilities “other than those corresponding to their biological sex.” The bill seemingly targets Representative-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.), who made history earlier this month when she won the state’s lone seat in the House.
“Biological men in women’s restrooms is a complete invasion of our privacy,” Mace wrote on X, saying her resolution was “common sense” while using demeaning language about McBride.
Asked about the proposal by reporters later Monday, Mace said she wasn’t concerned about her future colleague’s opinions on the matter.
“No, Sarah McBride doesn’t get a say in this,” Mace said. “If you’re a biological man, you shouldn’t be in women’s restrooms.”
