A trans war has broken out on Capitol Hill after a Republican lawmaker proposed a measure that would block the first transgender member of Congress from using biological women's restrooms in the U.S. Capitol.
Rep. Nancy Mace is pushing for the new rule ahead of the arrival of Congresswoman-elect Sarah McBride, who will take office in January as the first openly-trans lawmaker in the United States.
McBride blasted Republicans after the proposal, claiming they were using it as a 'distraction' tactic.
'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.'
Mace, a staunch conservative, stood by her measure.
'Playing make believe dress up doesn't mean you should be allowed in women's private spaces,' she wrote on X.
The proposal has set off a firestorm on Capitol Hill with Democrats rising to the defense of their soon-to-be colleague. McBride was elected last month and will take office in January.
'The cruelty is the point,' Democrat Rep. Becca Balint, a co-chair of the Equality Caucus, told Axios.
'This is not just bigotry, this is just plain bullying,' Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said.
Mace's proposal prohibits House members and staffers from 'using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex.'
The proposal would require the sergeant at arms to enforce the measure.
'Biological men do not belong in private women's spaces. Period. Full stop. End of story,' Mace said in a statement.
'I support a resolution that keeps biological men out of women's bathrooms,' Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told reporters on Capitol Hill.
She even suggested expanding it to 'all taxpayer funded facilities.'

Sit down and take a leak with the fellas, Pal. Suck it up, Weirdo.
The lines usually shorter cause using urinals is quicker.
Stop the crap calling him transgender
It’s not a “her.” It’s a man pretending to be a woman.
Nancy Mace takes a lot of flak but I’m with her/her on this.
He’s no more a her than a frog can turn into a prince.
>> It’s a man pretending to be a woman.
That’s right, and going along with the pretense is endorsing mental illness.
We’re so over mental illness! Since 11/5.
Just give the freak a bucket to carry around and call it good.

A modest proposal to the good people of FR... that we refuse to play along with this pervert’s delusions of being “Sarah.” Henceforth, please call this by his real name or some legitimate variation thereof... Timothy, Tim, Timmy.
Blast away, freako.

Well said.
