WASHINGTON — Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., introduced a resolution Monday that would ban transgender women from using female bathrooms in the Capitol just weeks before Democratic Rep.-elect Sarah McBride of Delaware is set to become the first out transgender member of Congress.
The measure would prohibit any lawmakers and House employees from “using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex.”
Asked by reporters whether her resolution was meant to target a marginalized person, Mace said, “Sarah McBride doesn’t get a say in this.”
“This is a biological man trying to force himself into women’s spaces, and I’m not going to tolerate it,” she added.
McBride, who won the race for Delaware’s lone House seat this month, slammed the measure Monday.
“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. We should be focused on bringing down the cost of housing, health care, and child care, not manufacturing culture wars,” she said in a statement.
“Every day Americans go to work with people who have life journeys different than their own and engage with them respectfully, I hope members of Congress can muster that same kindness,” she said on X.

Republicans need to use HIS name, not this ridiculous “Sarah.”

“transgender women” = “fake women”.

Whether Rep Mace will succeed or not, her even introducing it without massive backlash (along with other indicators) is a sign that the tide is starting to turn on the woke craziness.
I started seeing signs of an awakening the morning we woke up to the Trump era.

Wearing makeup and a dress does not make him a woman.
