Speaker Johnson says transgender women won't be allowed to use women's restrooms in Capitol
Source: ABC
House Speaker Mike Johnson said transgender women cannot use women's restrooms in the Capitol and House office buildings. This also applies to changing rooms and locker rooms, Johnson said.
"All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms are reserved for individuals of that biological sex," the statement said Wednesday.
Johnson continued, "It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol."
It's unclear what will happen with South Carolina GOP Rep. Nancy Mace's bill.
Mace said Tuesday that the bill she introduced to ban transgender women from using women's restrooms at the U.S. Capitol was "absolutely" in response to Rep.-elect Sarah McBride entering Congress.

(92,661 posts)Female members should just start using whichever bathrooms, mostly just occupy them, and make the men stand outside and wait. Fuck those idiot monsters.

(16,501 posts)Maybe the pedophiles could bring a five gallon bucket from home. Then do #1 & #2 in their personal portable toilet they carry around the Capitol during their work day. A stairway alcove might be a private spot for their restroom needs. A solid closing lid with a rubber gasket is very much suggested to control the stench.

(72,470 posts)BTW Do Johnson and Mace even know that that they have been in multiple restrooms
with LGBT people multiple times? And that nothing happened not unless they wanted it
to happen. Maybe Johnson & Mace get freaky there w/each other.
BTW 2.0 there is nothing sexual about public restrooms unless you are into Cleveland
Steamers and water sports. People go there to shit, piss, fart, wash up, and adjust their
clothes and I think most womens rooms have doors to the stalls too.
This be scared of trans people meme is straight out of Putins playbook.

All these macho Republicans would melt like ice cream if a trans woman showed up in a men's restroom.

Jeffries Republicans are bullying McBride.
This incoming, small, House Republican Conference majority is beginning to transition to the new Congress by bullying a member of Congress," Jeffries said Tuesday. "This is what we're doing? This is the lesson that you've drawn from the election in November? This is your priority, that you want to bully a member of Congress, as opposed to welcoming her to join this body so that all of us can work together to get things done and deliver real results for the American people?
This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

(24,085 posts)restrooms? It's not like everyone is walking around naked or such. Idiot. It's almost as bad as them saying that Gays can't use the bathrooms or such, for people are scared of the Gays. Same thing w/ the blacks, use the 'blacks only' restrooms, etc., etc. etc. This is pathetic, and it's targeting Americans too. Even if they are Trans., Gay, Black, or whatever, they are American.
Why don't you pick some serious issues for once?
The Democrats/Independents need to start a countdown of all the 'bad' or 'ill-advised' bills or topics such as this, and for every 10 bad or disgusting topics, we get a free pass on a democratically sponsored bill, otherwise nothing will get through.
