So we've got our first trans representative heading to Congress in January.
It's getting slightly awkward because I assume this person will attempt to use the ladies room at the Capitol.
Speaker Mike Johnson briefly touched on this earlier in the day.
And Rep. Nancy Mace has recently introduced a resolution banning trans-identifying males from the women's restroom at the Capitol.
From CNN:
A House Republican is pushing to ban transgender women from women's restrooms at the US Capitol, two weeks after history was made with the election of America's first out transgender person to Congress.
South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace on Monday introduced a resolution to amend the rules of the US House of Representatives less than two months before Democratic Rep.-elect Sarah McBride, a Delaware state senator, is sworn-in in January.
'Sarah McBride doesn't get a say. I mean, this is a biological man,' the South Carolina Republican told reporters on Monday, adding that the lawmaker 'does not belong in women's spaces, women's bathrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, period, full stop.'
McBride responded:
And then Mace was asked by a reporter to comment on the resolution. This is where it gets interesting and spicy.
Watch:
Reporter: 'Is this effort in response to Congresswoman McBride coming to Congress?'
Mace: 'Yes, and absolutely, and then some. I'm not going to stand for a man -- someone with a penis -- is in the girls' locker room. That's not okay. And I'm a victim of abuse myself. I'm a rape survivor. I have PTSD from the abuse I've suffered at the hands of a man, and I know how vulnerable women and girls are in private spaces.
'So I'm absolutely, 100%, going to stand in the way of any man who wants to be in a women's restroom, in our locker rooms, in our changing rooms, I will be there fighting every step of the way.'
I love how we're not mincing words anymore on the Right. Just tell it how it is, no filter.
Good for Rep. Nancy Mace!
