Summary
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) introduced a resolution to ban transgender women from using female bathrooms in the Capitol, citing “women’s rights” and opposing the “radical left.”
The move comes ahead of Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.), the first openly transgender member of Congress, taking office.
McBride criticized the measure as a divisive distraction from real issues like housing and healthcare costs.
LGBTQ advocates condemned the resolution as discriminatory, aligning it with broader Republican anti-trans policies emphasized in their platform and political ads.
Just piss on rep. Mace’s desk instead. Problem solved.
When Rep. Nancy Mace (R - S. Carolina) goes running into the bathroom to plaster the bowl with a putrid, explosive shit followed by a series of wet farts, she doesn’t want anyone else in there as that would be embarrassing. Especially if they saw her leave without washing her hands.
Jesus fucking Christ. This reminds me of “Whites Only” bathrooms and water fountains. It’s nothing more than trying to dehumanize people by attacking their basic needs.
Not like they have any other pressing problems besides being mean to people who are out of the ordinary.
it’s one to one the same thing. they just moved the target. the so-called arguments about safety and purity are exactly the same.
Oh brother… here we go…
What an absolute piece of shit.
Like every word she speaks is TERF propaganda, which she recognizes: She Twitted “Full TERF”.
She says “He is a biological man. End of. Period.”
She makes a point that she is not willing to discuss or find common ground by any criteria (not even the safety and dignity of trans women themselves).
This is a savage and barbaric, blatant display of bigotry and hatred, a disgusting outlook for any human, and totally unworthy of respect in decent society.
Thoughts out to Sarah Mac Bride that has to face this and still keeps her cool.
To me banning transgender use of public spaces and bathrooms should be listed as a hate crime and be heavily fined.
I hope her motion is rejected, she should be ashamed of her ridiculous self.
But they’re not being banned from ALL bathrooms, only bathrooms designated for biological females.
No, they are not administering genetic tests to make sure only XX people are allowed in. They are surely using birth certificate as a proxy. But there are plenty of people AFAB who would not qualify as biological females.

You people are just a hoot!
First of all learn to proof read before you post.
Second, show me how being Trans = being mentally unstable.
I’m being honest. Please send me any peer reviewed, fact based, article on that. I’d love to know more.
Also what is stopping any unsavory character (trans or not) from taking on a persona to manipulate people? What has ever stopped those types of people?
Trans people are just humans, like you and me. No better or worse. They have always existed, even if society made it so they had to stayed quiet about it. They pose no threat to you or the “American way”. They simply want the same rights every human has and they want to be left alone to go about their day, just like a vast majority of Americans.
It’s people like you that turn mole hills into mountains over this stupid shit like a trans person using a fucking bathroom. Fuck gender bathrooms anyway. Make it a requirement for all bathroom stall doors go to the floor and none of this is an issue anymore.
I swear you right wing nuts don’t have enough actual problems in your lives. If you did you wouldn’t have time for this shit and you wouldn’t care.
Protip: if you read your post out loud to yourself you will be able to catch any obvious autocorrect mistakes or prevent yourself from saying something really stupid.
The party of Identity politics.
People seem to think the Dems are so pro-trans when they don’t really do anything. Republicans just come up with random ways to make trans people’s lives more difficult for no reason.
Hurting people is the reason.
deadbeef79000 gets it.
Oh geez… no one cares about trans… like, literally. It becomes an issue when things like this are forced on the rest of us. Like, we’re all in this together, trying to follow simple rules of males and females… the way it’s been for CENTURIES… and now, all of a sudden, the vast majority of us need to conform to a small percentage of people who “identify” as something else…
if no one cares then shut the fuck up and don’t mind which bathroom we use. Seems like idiots care more than they have any right to.
So women should use the mens bathroom? Is that what they are getting at?
How are they going to enforce it?
There’s lots of armed guards at the capitol
Yes but what are they enforcing? If you have a dick you go in the mens room, or if you were born with a dick you go in the mens room? And what are you using to verify the status of said dick? It’s all dumb. You go into a bathroom and you shut the latch. If someone is crawling under stall doors and peaking/harrassing someone they should be outed and charged no matter what the gender/sex/bathroom they are in.
If a man was crawling under my stall in the mens room, I would want him charged as well. It’s stupid to think gender matters there somehow.
They know who the trans legislator is. This is a specific personal attack
I think we know the sex and gender of every rep, no? Its a finite population that doesn’t change often.
In this case its a woman who is openly trans, so we know their gender assigned at birth is male. I dont see any need to lift her skirt to enforce this law, if passed.
Also if you think that fascists have no issue with harrasing people, you have no grasp on how bad things are about to get…
Nah I just don’t think they could agree they would want someone with a cock in the women’s room, which if they passed this law, it won’t disappear immediately when a man who born a woman is required to use the women’s room. They would be setting themselves up for that. I think a lot of it is inherently sexist, thinking women are weak so they couldn’t handle themselves in a room without another man to protect them, or they are insecure and don’t trust that they would not do whatever their jealousy is driving them to think. Notice it is rare to hear someone worried about women who transition to men using the mens room. If they were really worried about who they consider women, they would be worried about them being taken advantage of in the mens room as well.
It seems to apply to the entire capitol groups, so it would apply to everyone visiting the capitol. I hope a group of trans men arranges a never-ending parade of trans men using the women’s restrooms at the capitol.
Male janitors walk all the time into women bathrooms. No one gives a shit.
These dumb things usually state whatever sex is listed on original birth certificate. As if those are infallible.
I know representation is important. But why do the Karen’s get a disproportionate amount?
Because they are loud, and reasonable people are not. When the reasonable people get loud they shut up when reasonable critiques are made. At some point the reasonable people have to become unreasonable (by degree) so they can be heard.
Believe it or not, they speak for their constituents.
Because the US is disproportionately made up of Karens.
Huh, will this give us CHEAPER EGGS? What about the BACON?
oh she’s getting some pork, alright.
According to conservatives, yes.
citing “women’s rights” and opposing the “radical left.”
You can expect this to be the template for when they want to pass anything.
That’s pretty rich coming from the party that supports people taking a dump on Capitol desks.
Don’t worry Nancy. Just like all of the straight men out there, trans women don’t want to touch you either.
You don’t have to introduce legislature protecting yourself from non-existent threats.
The patriot act says hi.
Along with like… Half the shift from 2001-2005.
And if we keep going we will be here all day.
Glad to see she’s really focused on fixing the economy.
This is how you end up with genderless bathrooms.
honestly, that would be awesome. completely private stalls. a common area to wash hands or whatever.
I was at a bar that did this. Each toilet in its own little room (no stalls with gaps along the floor and doors). Besides a little initial confusion to make sure I wasn’t walking into the wrong restroom, it was perfectly fine.
No no. I think it was the Stockholm airport, for example. Each private stall had a loo and sink and like 1/2 gaps at the bottom; perhaps in case of flooding. It was the private spa of airport bathrooms.
My family there says it’s less about protecting people of different attributes from our own : they just can’t be arsed to delineate when it makes no difference and costs more to maintain.
Mix the bathrooms, ensure individual privacy, and everybody still poops.
So long as I’ve got regular access to a god damned urinal I’m okay with this. Putem in the stalls, put em nearby, fuck it put em in the hall way just don’t take them away from me.
I get that sitting is probably better for you, but I don’t always want to take the time sit and pee, and I’m tall enough that peeing into a toilet causes serious splash back problems pretty much no matter what.
That seems like the more reasonable answer
Are they also banning transgender men from male bathrooms?
There’s aren’t any (out) trans men in Congress, so no.
The measure would prohibit any lawmakers and House employees from “using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex.”
So yes
Ah, okay, they covered their bases. But conservatives forget trans men exist all the time, so it’s probably an afterthought.
Oh, I expect they forgot trans men existed when they wrote the law. Once extremely masculine trans men start using the women’s bathroom, as they are legally illogically required to do, Republicans will backpedal…who am I kidding, that wouldn’t happen until midterms at the earliest, and by then they’ll just be shooting trans people.
I’m sorry for the state of your country. I hope mine doesn’t follow, though they seem to be.
Enforced HOW?
Given that there will be only one openly trans member of Congress, you can assume any time she goes to the restroom some Republican will report on which bathroom she goes into.
Nobody is as concerned with other people’s genitals as conservatives.
And they’ll cite all the fines that shitgibbon from Georgia got for not wearing a mask and trying to bring guns into Congress as proof they can.
my friend used the women’s in a bucees rest stop in sone shithole state on a road trip and the cops were there by the time she was done with her business. Someone ‘made a report’.
They plan to set up a genital inspection booth in front of the restrooms where a eunuch will examine all persons wishing to use the restroom.
By vibe. If you’re passable you’re fine, if you don’t visibly match your gender presentation well enough, jail
The capitol has a lot of armed guards on staff
