Mace introduces bill to bar trans women from Capitol restrooms
The resolution, which would prohibit members, officers and employees of the House from using single-sex facilities that correspond to their gender identity, comes just a week after Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.) made history as the first openly transgender person elected to Congress.

McBride responds
“This is a blatant attempt from far right-wing extremists to distract from the fact that they have no real solutions to what Americans are facing,” McBride said. “We should be focused on bringing down the cost of housing, health care, and child care, not manufacturing culture wars. Delawareans sent me here to make the American dream more affordable and accessible and that’s what I’m focused on."
Girl, I'm sorry you were a victim of rape/sexual assault, but ain't no trans woman rape you.
Her concern over integrated single-sex facilities stems from being a survivor of sexual assault and rape.
“I want to see which of my male colleagues don’t support women up here. I dare them. Like, this is a place where I want your vote. I want it on record. I want to know where you stand. You protect us. Do we have rights as women or not?”

McBride says she will ‘follow the rules’ of House bathroom ban
“I’m not here to fight about bathrooms. I’m here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down the costs facing families. Like all members, I will follow the rules outlined by Speaker Johnson, even if I disagree with them,” McBride said Wednesday in a statement posted to the social platform X.

They say I’m a pervert They say I’m a man dressed as a woman. They say I’m a threat to their children. They say I’m confused, They say l'm dangerous. We’re all just people trying to pee in peace.

@nursefrombirth just shit on the House floor. That whole place is a clogged toilet.
@nursefrombirth The number of people who decide what's her face feeling "threatened" is cool but still are cool with Bobo and MTG carrying guns into Congress is disturbing. They're still doing that? What a bunch of jokes.
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine Truth. I expect a shoot out on the Congress floor.
@nursefrombirth They have shown the world who they are with this congressional trans bathroom ban and are stupid enough to think they're winning
@nursefrombirth my thought is that all of the democrat women should use the men's restroom. Sarah is the only OPENLY trans woman. But as far as I know they're not checking. #politics #lgbtqia
@CarmenSlamdiego Now that would stun them. I like it.
In a statement, Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.), chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus, which promotes LGBTQ equality in the House, called Johnson’s new bathroom policy “a cruel and unnecessary rule that puts countless staff, interns, and visitors to the United States Capitol at risk.”
