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.

    Oh geez… no one cares about trans… like, literally. It becomes an issue when things like this are forced on the rest of us. Like, we’re all in this together, trying to follow simple rules of males and females… the way it’s been for CENTURIES… and now, all of a sudden, the vast majority of us need to conform to a small percentage of people who “identify” as something else…

      if no one cares then shut the fuck up and don’t mind which bathroom we use. Seems like idiots care more than they have any right to.
