Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has privately committed to back an effort led by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) to block biological men from using women’s restrooms in the U.S. Capitol.
Mace announced Monday she would introduce a resolution to ban transgender women (biological men) from using biological women’s restrooms at the U.S. Capitol.
Johnson, during Tuesday morning’s weekly House Republican Conference meeting, said transgender women won’t be allowed to use women’s restrooms in the Capitol, Politico reported.
“He said there’s not going to be any biological men using our restrooms,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told Politico.
Mace confirmed Greene’s account, telling Axios that Johnson “said to me last night that he would include it in House Rules.”
Despite pledges made in private, Johnson was less committal in a post-meeting press conference, refusing to address whether Mace’s proposal would be included in a rules package.
“We will provide appropriate accommodation for every member of Congress,” he said, noting this is a new issue for congressmen to deal with.
The Speaker earlier had refused to answer whether freshman-elect transgender Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) is a man or a woman.
“Look, I’m not going to get into this,” he replied. “We welcome all new members with open arms who are duly elected representatives of the people. I believe it’s a command, we treat all persons with dignity and respect. We will. I’m not going to engage in silly debates about this.”

Or scrap the getup and put on a business suit.
He’s already p***** on “We, the People”....How do they even get elected??
The sad thing is that this is actually a news story. Simple, plain ol’ common sense is now a head line worthy issue. Oh how far we have fallen.
He got the “woke” vote in his state.
he has an office bathroom
like every other member of congress
but he is making a fuss
cuz besides being mentally deluded about his sex
he is an attention seeking whore
I prefer “nuts”.
Here comes a viral video of this person trying to use the women’s bathroom and being stopped, cue the self righteous indignation...
Take a vote.
Time is ripe.
The Kamala they/them ads were FATAL.
A vote for “they/them” would be fatal for the 2026 midterms.
Only the those in the deepest blue districts could survive a vote against Mace’s bill.
He knows if he doesn’t MTG will stake out the place and beat the crap out of “him” as promised.
The man has a PRIVATE BATHROOM in HIS OFFICE!!
The bathroom issue isn’t the issue. He’s stirring up chaos for political reasons.
Unbelievable. Un-freekin-believable..
Delaware is ONE SICK PLACE!! They have elected ANOTHER MEBNTALLY ILL PERSON!
“our speaker is worried about bathroom use”
You are entitled to your view.
I don’t share that view.
I see it as a Republican leader SUPPORTING a conservative in his caucus.
That hardly EVER happened with Lyin’ Kevin McCarthy and China Mitch.
Not only that it demonstrates he sees the importance of keeping his house in the right order.
As they say, a man who can not run his own house is incapable of running a business or his country.
Long after all the issues you have cited are resolved the transgender and woke insanity of the Democrats will remain.
If we pound them on it we control the WH and the Congress for decades, maybe even generations.
Republicans need to learn how to win.
Women need to wake up. It’s the males in Congress who don’t want men in drag in THEIR bathrooms.
Weak men who allow their children to suffer. Who sigh with relief when they see them choose Women’s door.
More men need to echo Johnson. Men need to speak loudly even though uncomfortable.
