When Representative-elect Sarah McBride, a Delaware Democrat, won her race for the House this month, becoming the first openly transgender person elected to Congress, she knew she would face attacks from hard-right Republicans over her identity.

She just didn’t expect they would start before she had even been sworn in.

In Washington this week for new member orientation, Ms. McBride was still sitting through mandatory cybersecurity trainings, setting up her payroll, selecting district offices and learning how to introduce a bill when her new Republican colleague, Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina, announced plans to introduce a measure to bar transgender women from using women’s restrooms and changing rooms in the Capitol complex.

Ms. Mace did not try to pretend that she was doing anything other than targeting one individual with her resolution, even though it would apply to all employees and officers of the House.

“Sarah McBride doesn’t get a say,” she told reporters on Monday night. “I mean, this is a biological man.” She said that Ms. McBride “does not belong in women’s spaces, women’s bathrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms — period, full stop.”

The move by Ms. Mace, one of the more attention-seeking members of the House, was straight out of the political playbook Republicans have long employed on transgender issues, which they see as an effective wedge to divide Democrats.

In the final days of the campaign, President-elect Donald J. Trump hammered Vice President Kamala Harris on her stance on transgender rights. And in the days since Democrats lost the White House and both chambers of Congress, there has been much hand-wringing among them about whether their position on the issue cost them with voters.

In the House, Republicans have spent the last two years routinely proposing legislation seeking to roll back the rights of...

Sergeant at Arms of the U.S. House of Representatives can escort Rep. McBride out of the Capitol if he refuses to follow the rules.

I would prefer HE was escorted to a holding cell as HE awaits a trial on sex crimes HE committed when HE tried to enter the women's bathroom.

Nancy Mace was a raped by a man and has PTSD from the experience. She and every woman have every right to same sex bathrooms, locker rooms. Moreover, PTSD is a medical condition which should entitle her to even more protection.

Our representatives have to pass legislation to protect innocent women from this mentally ill, deceptive, fraudulent individual who is a member of Congress. Who voted for this destroyer of decency and common sense, this pervert?

Slimes:

“transgender issues, which they see as an effective wedge to divide Democrats.”

Nope—they got it wrong again.

We want the Democrats to march in lockstep—fighting for transgender “rights”.

We want it to be a “wedge” dividing Democrats from the rest of the country—and burying Democrats for decades to come.

The left does not get to blame normal people for leftists choosing the wedge. They revel in the insanity because it rips the fabric of society and undermines morality. Then they wield it like a cudgel and get the vapors when said society rejects them.

There are two restroom cases:
1. fake men using men’s restrooms
2. fake women using women’s restrooms

As for 1, the fake man would probably use a sit-down stall. If using the urinal, if no man is near, no problem. If a man is near, the real man generally will not care if the fake man (modified women) urinates into an adjacent urinal.

As for 2, the applicable case, women’s restrooms only use sit-down stalls.

The real problems of gender privacy arise in locker rooms and showers, not bathrooms.
