U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) put forward a resolution on Monday requiring representatives and staff at the U.S. House and Capitol to use bathrooms aligning with their biological sex, shortly after the election of the first transgender-identifying congressperson.

“Biological men do not belong in private women’s spaces. Period. Full stop. End of story,” said Rep. Mace.
“Allowing biological males into single-sex facilities, such as restrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms designed for women jeopardizes the safety and dignity of Members, officers, and employees of the House who are female,” says the resolution.
Mace’s resolution came in response to Delaware’s election of the nation’s first-ever trans-identifying congressman, Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.), a biological male who was originally named Tim.
Rep. McBride responded to Mace’s resolution by accusing her of extremism for wanting people to use the bathrooms corresponding with their sex.
“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,” said McBride on X.
Under Mace’s resolution, the House of Representatives’ Sergeant-at-Arms would be instructed to keep McBride out of the bathroom designated for women.
The spat over Mace’s bill is just one facet of a debate over the left-wing embrace of gender ideology that has led some older, more traditional Democrats, including Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D), to question the party’s overwhelming focus on transgenderism.
Telling a Portland newspaper that Democrats should avoid getting bogged down in identity politics, Gov. Mills warned of the perception that Democrats are only for “transgender this and that, every multicultural person.”
Some other Republicans came out in support of Mace’s resolution, such as U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).
“I support banning men from women’s restrooms in the Capitol, but that isn’t enough. Men should be banned from women’s restrooms in every federal building paid for by taxpayers,” said Rep. Greene.
Despite support from some Republicans, the fate of Mace’s resolution is far from decided.
Some high-ranking Republicans prefer to avoid the contentious cultural issue.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) refused to say whether he would support Mace’s resolution.
He avoided a question on Mace’s resolution from a reporter, instead claiming that they will provide “appropriate accommodation” to every Congress member.
“This is an issue that congress has never had to address before, and we’re going to do that in a deliberate fashion with member consensus on it, and we will accommodate the needs of every single person,” said Speaker Johnson.
Johnson also refused to answer a question about whether he believes McBride is a man or a woman.
After the interview, Johnson made a press appearance to clarify his position.
“For anybody who doesn’t know my well established record on this issue let me be unequivocally clear, a man is a man and a woman is a woman, and a man cannot become a woman,” said Johnson.
He did not specifically mention McBride and did not express support for Mace’s resolution.
McBride publicly announced his gender transition in 2012 at the age of 21, while a rising senior at American University in Washington, D.C., just one day after his term in the student government expired.
A 2011 article from American University’s newspaper, The Eagle, revealed that McBride had previously worked with Beau Biden’s campaign for Attorney General.
If McBride still has his “junk” he’s a male. Otherwise, he’s playing a children’s game of pretend and should undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
You’re NOT treating these mentally ill whackadoodles with “dignity” by playing in to their delusion.
NO!!!
No – i’m tired of going into public restrooms and having to put the toilet seat down because a man has been in there.
“Should Men Be Allowed in the Women’s Bathroom?”
SURE, as long as that male (not man thank you, and most assuredly not a woman) don’t mind being taken out into the woods and have the living dog snot kicked out of him.
As for Nancy Mace’s resolution, FIX OUR TROULBES FIRST, then yours. That’s what your paid to do, not feather your own nest. Even if the SOBs manage to get this past all the Prev.s, RINOS, and Moonbats that’s where it will end. Our women and children won’t be safe in their bathrooms but all the oh so special, $#!+bag, Politicians’ will.
Commonsense should rule on this, men are men, women are women pretty simple.
As long as they have guards in the restrooms to protect the men …?
What kind of crazy question is this? How can one tell between a ‘trans-woman’ and a pervert pretending to be a women? Seems like an ego thing. Never take chances when it comes to the moral behavior of pervs.
My question is how the hell did the queer get into congress ?
WHO votes for these f *@ing weirdos ?
Men use men’s rooms , even if they want to pretend to be otherwise .
Go get um Nancy !
YOU are on the side of right with this issue .
Tell Mr Weird to get fitted for a catheter .
Genetically he is a he and will always be a he.
His choice to dress like a woman does not mean the rest of society should have go along and pretend he’s now a real woman.
He made his choice, so live with it and go to the men’s room
Nancy Mace is not the extremist here, Timothy McBride (aka Sarah McBride) is. He (she) needs to follow the norms set by society’s rules. It appears that he has some connection to the Biden’s so that may have more to do with this than anything else. The answer to your question is NO!
Congresswoman Mace is being very cut and dry here, MENS room is for the guys, LADIES room is for the ladies. If someone is a he/she now need to setup a room for those individuals. Good on Mace for this legislation!
Yes men should be allowed in woman’s bathrooms, as soon as we set up a a mini-guillotine at each BR entrance.
