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?”

@nursefrombirth If Johnson is so concerned about the safety of women in the Capitol, he should probably ban Trump's cabinet members from the building.
@Coctaanatis Indeed. What will they do to Sarah in the bathroom. I certainly wouldn't be using the bathroom with those sexual predators.
