Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina introduced the resolution as Rep.-elect Sarah McBride, D-Del., is set to become the first out transgender member of Congress.

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.

    You people are just a hoot!

    First of all learn to proof read before you post.

    Second, show me how being Trans = being mentally unstable.

    I’m being honest. Please send me any peer reviewed, fact based, article on that. I’d love to know more.

    Also what is stopping any unsavory character (trans or not) from taking on a persona to manipulate people? What has ever stopped those types of people?

    Trans people are just humans, like you and me. No better or worse. They have always existed, even if society made it so they had to stayed quiet about it. They pose no threat to you or the “American way”. They simply want the same rights every human has and they want to be left alone to go about their day, just like a vast majority of Americans.

    It’s people like you that turn mole hills into mountains over this stupid shit like a trans person using a fucking bathroom. Fuck gender bathrooms anyway. Make it a requirement for all bathroom stall doors go to the floor and none of this is an issue anymore.

    I swear you right wing nuts don’t have enough actual problems in your lives. If you did you wouldn’t have time for this shit and you wouldn’t care.
