NOTUS reports:
Some Republicans are officially moving to give Rep.-elect Sarah McBride an unwelcome arrival to the House. Rep. Nancy Mace introduced a resolution to ban trangender women from using the women’s restroom in the Capitol and any of the House office buildings.
The South Carolina Republican told reporters that she was specifically introducing the bill because of McBride — who is set to be the first openly trans member of Congress — though it would likely impact any transgender person who works at the Capitol.
McBride “does not get a say in this at all,” Mace said. “She was born a biological male, she should use the men’s restroom. That’s how it should work.” When asked about the resolution, Speaker Mike Johnson said “we’re working on the issue,” but then added that he didn’t “have anything to say about it.”
Read the full article. Mace has pinned her first tweet below to the top of her feed and is eagerly sharing tweets from far-right extremists. The cult is pouring into McBride’s reaction with abuse.
Every day Americans go to work with people who have life journeys different than their own and engage with them respectfully, I hope members of Congress can muster that same kindness.

Never thought this would have to happen, but we are introducing a resolution banning biological men from entering protected spaces for women on Capitol grounds. Protecting biological women starts here and it starts now. https://t.co/oX7SJLB6JZ

Playing make believe dress up doesn’t mean you should be allowed in women’s private spaces. https://t.co/MHXvt5ry7z

Women’s bathrooms are for biological women. Not men in a mini skirt. https://t.co/ZZgvHqd3Ut

Letting biological men in our spaces is not only an invasion of privacy. It puts our safety at risk too. https://t.co/I6EoqvNTob

Hateful. Dangerous. Unnecessary. Trans people represent one half of one percent of Americans. Mind your own damn business and let them be. https://t.co/Pb3U0qmu3I

This is disgusting. Mace wants to make it hell for Rep. Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender person elected to Congress. Probably also done with an eye toward the razor thin Republican majority. Absolute ghouls. https://t.co/LJB6aWToaa
