From the Washington Examiner: House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) sidestepped questions on how he’ll address proposals to ban transgender lawmakers from using female bathroom facilities inside the Capitol building, even as GOP lawmakers vowed this is only the start.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) defended her decision to file a bill targeting Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-DE), who is set to become the first transgender member of Congress when she is sworn in next year, by prohibiting any transgender females from using female bathrooms. Mace is pushing GOP leadership to include that proposal in the House rules legislation, threatening to bring it to the floor herself if it is not.

The bill would apply only to bathrooms and “single-sex facilities” inside the Capitol and House office buildings, but Mace said she would expand those efforts later on.

“This is just the start,” Mace told reporters Tuesday. “I want to make sure that no men are in women’s private spaces. And it’s not going to end here. This shouldn’t be going on any federal property. If you’re a school or an institution that gets government funding, this kind of thing should be banned.”

McBride, 34, a biological male, has been a Democratic member of the Delaware state senate since January 2021. Now McBride has won a seat in the U.S. Congress, and will be taking office in January.

“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,” McBride sneered, in response to Mace seeking to prevent men from entering women’s bathrooms in the Capitol building.

“Biological men do not belong in private women’s spaces. Period. Full stop. End of story,” Mace announced on Monday, sharing a copy of her legislative proposal.

At a press conference, Speaker Johnson was asked by a reporter, “Is freshman-elect Sarah McBride a man or a woman?”

Johnson dodged, saying he will treat all elected officials with dignity and respect and will accommodate the needs of every single person.

“I believe it’s a command we treat all persons with dignity and respect. We will,” Johnson said. “I’m not going to engage in silly debates about this. There’s a concern about the use of restroom facilities and locker rooms and all that. This is an issue that Congress has never had to address before. We’re going to do that in a deliberate fashion with member consensus on it. We will accommodate the needs of every single person.”

Mace, a rape survivor, says she has PTSD from the abuse she suffered in the past, and has declared she is not about to stand by and allow any man who wants to enter women’s restrooms in the legislative building.

“Women’s bathrooms are for biological women. Not men in a mini skirt,” Mace declared.

“I’ve broken many glass ceilings and been celebrated for it, but the minute I fight for the rights of women and girls to keep men out of our private spaces, I’m the “bigot.” The radical Left is totally out of control,” Mace declared in one social media post.

“The radical Left says I’m a “threat.” You better believe it. And I will shameless call you out for putting women and girls in harm’s way,” Mace added.

“The only reason anyone is offended by this resolution—let us gently hold your hand as we say this—is because they’re a radical left-wing extremist who supports stripping biological women of their privacy rights,” Mace also wrote.

Tuesday morning, Mace posted a fiery video and vowed that she will “fight like hell” to protect every woman and every little girl.

Mace has now received a grotesque death threat from another transgender on social media:

McBride, who now goes by Sarah, was formerly Tim McBride.

Derrick Evans, a former Jan 6 Political Prisoner and former member of the WV House, wrote, “Congressman-elect Sarah McBride is a MAN. HE is very upset that REAL women don’t want him using the women’s restroom on Capitol Hill.

“If I were a member of Congress & saw him going into the women’s restroom, I’d personally go in & drag his ass out of there. PROTECT REAL WOMEN!”
