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.
What an absolute piece of shit.
Like every word she speaks is TERF propaganda, which she recognizes: She Twitted “Full TERF”.
She says “He is a biological man. End of. Period.”
She makes a point that she is not willing to discuss or find common ground by any criteria (not even the safety and dignity of trans women themselves).
This is a savage and barbaric, blatant display of bigotry and hatred, a disgusting outlook for any human, and totally unworthy of respect in decent society.
Thoughts out to Sarah Mac Bride that has to face this and still keeps her cool.
To me banning transgender use of public spaces and bathrooms should be listed as a hate crime and be heavily fined.
I hope her motion is rejected, she should be ashamed of her ridiculous self.
So what, every mentally unstable person cam make up what ever story about being a man or a woman or cat or anything else and everyone has to play along?
This is scary how crazy you people can be.
Those trans people are mentally seek, you don’t confort them in the idea that they’re right about what they think they are. You wouldn’t say to a skizo that his hallucination is real?
Protip: if you read your post out loud to yourself you will be able to catch any obvious autocorrect mistakes or prevent yourself from saying something really stupid.
You people are just a hoot!
First of all learn to proof read before you post.
Second, show me how being Trans = being mentally unstable.
I’m being honest. Please send me any peer reviewed, fact based, article on that. I’d love to know more.
Also what is stopping any unsavory character (trans or not) from taking on a persona to manipulate people? What has ever stopped those types of people?
Trans people are just humans, like you and me. No better or worse. They have always existed, even if society made it so they had to stayed quiet about it. They pose no threat to you or the “American way”. They simply want the same rights every human has and they want to be left alone to go about their day, just like a vast majority of Americans.
It’s people like you that turn mole hills into mountains over this stupid shit like a trans person using a fucking bathroom. Fuck gender bathrooms anyway. Make it a requirement for all bathroom stall doors go to the floor and none of this is an issue anymore.
I swear you right wing nuts don’t have enough actual problems in your lives. If you did you wouldn’t have time for this shit and you wouldn’t care.
I think I rarely see the so-called disgust reflex in full throttle, as I see it in terfs attacking trans women. They are literally acting like a five-inch cockroach is climbing up their ankle, and they can’t help it. There is no amount of TERFism propaganda that can do that, they just must be the most homophobic people in existence, on par with people who flat out murder trans women. No doubt about it, they dehumanize trans women and would mass murder them with not a shed of remorse. Fuck TERFs, really.
Jesus fucking Christ. This reminds me of “Whites Only” bathrooms and water fountains. It’s nothing more than trying to dehumanize people by attacking their basic needs.
it’s one to one the same thing. they just moved the target. the so-called arguments about safety and purity are exactly the same.
So women should use the mens bathroom? Is that what they are getting at?
How are they going to enforce it?
They really want to ensure none of us attempt to enter government again
I say replace all the bathrooms with genderless-only ones. You can’t use them if you have any gender, sorry.
Are they also banning transgender men from male bathrooms?
There’s aren’t any (out) trans men in Congress, so no.
The measure would prohibit any lawmakers and House employees from “using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex.”
So yes
Ah, okay, they covered their bases. But conservatives forget trans men exist all the time, so it’s probably an afterthought.
Here it begins
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.
Hurting people is the reason.
deadbeef79000 gets it.
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.
Huh, will this give us CHEAPER EGGS? What about the BACON?
oh she’s getting some pork, alright.
According to conservatives, yes.
This is how you end up with genderless bathrooms.
That seems like the more reasonable answer
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.
I was at a bar that did this. Each toilet in its own little room (no stalls with gaps along the floor and doors). Besides a little initial confusion to make sure I wasn’t walking into the wrong restroom, it was perfectly fine.
Glad to see she’s really focused on fixing the economy.
Don’t worry Nancy. Just like all of the straight men out there, trans women don’t want to touch you either.
You don’t have to introduce legislature protecting yourself from non-existent threats.
