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.
Hurting people is the 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.
Glad to see she’s really focused on fixing the economy.
Huh, will this give us CHEAPER EGGS? What about the BACON?
oh she’s getting some pork, alright.
According to conservatives, yes.
This is how you end up with genderless bathrooms.
That seems like the more reasonable answer
honestly, that would be awesome. completely private stalls. a common area to wash hands or whatever.
I was at a bar that did this. Each toilet in its own little room (no stalls with gaps along the floor and doors). Besides a little initial confusion to make sure I wasn’t walking into the wrong restroom, it was perfectly fine.
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.
The patriot act says hi.
Along with like… Half the shift from 2001-2005.
And if we keep going we will be here all day.
Enforced HOW?
Given that there will be only one openly trans member of Congress, you can assume any time she goes to the restroom some Republican will report on which bathroom she goes into.
Nobody is as concerned with other people’s genitals as conservatives.
And they’ll cite all the fines that shitgibbon from Georgia got for not wearing a mask and trying to bring guns into Congress as proof they can.
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.
