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
āThis 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,ā McBride said. āWe 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 thatās what Iām 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.
āI want to see which of my male colleagues donāt 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?ā

McBride says she will āfollow the rulesā of House bathroom ban
āIām not here to fight about bathrooms. Iām 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,ā McBride said Wednesday in a statement posted to the social platform X.

In a statement, Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.), chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus, which promotes LGBTQ equality in the House, called Johnsonās new bathroom policy āa cruel and unnecessary rule that puts countless staff, interns, and visitors to the United States Capitol at risk.ā
