House Speaker Mike Johnson has ruled the first transgender member of Congress cannot use the women's restrooms in a decision that will shake the U.S. Capitol.

Newly elected Sarah McBride, who will become the first openly transgender lawmaker when sworn into office in January, will have to use the men's facilities.

It follows a week of outrage from outspoken Republicans Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Nancy Mace, R-S.C., who have called McBride a 'man', a predator and accused her of being 'mentally ill.'

Republicans were emboldened by Donald Trump's win in the presidential election.

Trump has pledged to stop taxpayer funding for sex change treatments, block transgender people from entering the military, and ban trans athletes from women's sports.

Data shows the number of adults who identify as transgender in the U.S. is between 0.5 percent and 1.6 percent.

Mace had introduced a bill to ban transgender women from using female restrooms on Capitol Hill.

Johnson, the GOP leader, finally weighed in on the controversy in a statement Wednesday saying McBride would have to use the restroom of her biological sex.

'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,' Johnson said in his statement.

'It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol,' he went on. 'Women deserve women’s only spaces.'

Trannys are mentally ill and should be nowhere near any wheels of power.

Notice how they blame MTG, when it was Nancy Mace who did it. Because DM feels readers might side with the attractive Mace over the sick tranny, so instead they show the less attractive MTG.

Glancing over the excerpt I didn’t see anything about declaring war.

If you are born with a penis you’re not from Venus. Use the Mars bathroom instead.
