Trans Congresswoman Responds To Speaker Johnson's Capitol Hill Bathroom Ban
HuffPost
Delaware's Sarah McBride said she had not been sent to Washington to "fight about bathrooms."
Representative-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.) said she would comply with the anti-transgender bathroom rules that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced Wednesday because, in her words, “I’m not here to fight about bathrooms.”
“I’m here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down costs facing families,” McBride said in a statement.
“Like all members, I will follow the rules as outlined by Speaker Johnson, even if I disagree with them,” she said.
McBride became the first openly transgender person elected to Congress earlier this month, winning Delaware’s lone district. Her arrival in Washington, where incoming members are given tours and trainings before the new Congress convenes in January, has been met with attacks from some of her Republican colleagues.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) petitioned Johnson to adopt a policy stating that people must use a bathroom or locker room that corresponds to their sex as designated at birth. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a CrossFit enthusiast, reportedly said she would fight any transgender woman who attempts to use the women’s facility.
