Summary
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) introduced a resolution to ban transgender women from using female bathrooms in the Capitol, citing “women’s rights” and opposing the “radical left.”
The move comes ahead of Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.), the first openly transgender member of Congress, taking office.
McBride criticized the measure as a divisive distraction from real issues like housing and healthcare costs.
LGBTQ advocates condemned the resolution as discriminatory, aligning it with broader Republican anti-trans policies emphasized in their platform and political ads.
The party of Identity politics.
People seem to think the Dems are so pro-trans when they don’t really do anything. Republicans just come up with random ways to make trans people’s lives more difficult for no reason.
Oh geez… no one cares about trans… like, literally. It becomes an issue when things like this are forced on the rest of us. Like, we’re all in this together, trying to follow simple rules of males and females… the way it’s been for CENTURIES… and now, all of a sudden, the vast majority of us need to conform to a small percentage of people who “identify” as something else…
Huh, will this give us CHEAPER EGGS? What about the BACON?
This is how you end up with genderless bathrooms.
honestly, that would be awesome. completely private stalls. a common area to wash hands or whatever.
No no. I think it was the Stockholm airport, for example. Each private stall had a loo and sink and like 1/2 gaps at the bottom; perhaps in case of flooding. It was the private spa of airport bathrooms.
My family there says it’s less about protecting people of different attributes from our own : they just can’t be arsed to delineate when it makes no difference and costs more to maintain.
Mix the bathrooms, ensure individual privacy, and everybody still poops.
So long as I’ve got regular access to a god damned urinal I’m okay with this. Putem in the stalls, put em nearby, fuck it put em in the hall way just don’t take them away from me.
I get that sitting is probably better for you, but I don’t always want to take the time sit and pee, and I’m tall enough that peeing into a toilet causes serious splash back problems pretty much no matter what.
That’s pretty rich coming from the party that supports people taking a dump on Capitol desks.
citing “women’s rights” and opposing the “radical left.”
You can expect this to be the template for when they want to pass anything.
