The "trans" bathroom wars have reached Capitol Hill, courtesy of Delaware's newly elected "Sarah" McBride - the first "transgender" person to the House of Representatives
On Monday, Representative Nancy Mace introduced a bill that would require members of Congress to use restrooms associated with their biological sex.
"Sarah McBride doesn't get a say. I mean, this is a biological man. McBride does not belong in women's spaces, women's bathrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, period, full stop."
Nancy Mace is exactly right.
Elected Sarah McBride, the 34-year-old is currently serving as a member of Delaware's General Assembly.
Born Tim McBride in 1990, the young man announced to his parents in college that he was "trans" - and has assumed this confused identity ever since.
Pressed on Tuesday about Rep. Mace's bill, Speaker Mike Johnson stated:
"We welcome all members with open arms who are newly elected representatives of the people. I believe it's a command. We treat all persons with dignity and respect."
He then added:
"And I'm not going to engage in silly debates about this. There's a concern about the uses 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 members' consensus on it, and we will accommodate the needs of every single person."
Later in the day Speaker Johnson spoke again to reporters and stated:
"Let me be unequivocally clear. A man is a man and a woman is a woman. And a man cannot become a woman."
