Speaker Johnson says transgender women won't be allowed to use women's restrooms in Capitol

[LetMyPeopleVote]

Source: ABC

House Speaker Mike Johnson said transgender women cannot use women's restrooms in the Capitol and House office buildings. This also applies to changing rooms and locker rooms, Johnson said.

"All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings — such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms — are reserved for individuals of that biological sex," the statement said Wednesday.

Johnson continued, "It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol."

It's unclear what will happen with South Carolina GOP Rep. Nancy Mace's bill.

Mace said Tuesday that the bill she introduced to ban transgender women from using women's restrooms at the U.S. Capitol was "absolutely" in response to Rep.-elect Sarah McBride entering Congress.

1. I guess

She will have to pee and shit where the MAGA J6rs did. The House has been turned into one huge Out House anyway, filled will stagnant shit. Bright Red Shit.

[onecaliberal]

34. I hope she shits at his office doorstep each day,

[kelly1mm]

40. Why? She has her own bathroom at her office and there are multiple unisex restrooms in the capital.

However, this is virtue signaling for sure by the Speaker.

[onecaliberal]

41. A man who supports a child rapist is NOT virtuous or moral or even Christian.

[kelly1mm]

44. Oh that makes sense. It is not for the restroom issue, just general purpose! Got it. nt

[Blues Heron]

45. It's not virtue signaling, it's douche signaling

[2naSalit]

46. I think that the...

Female members should just start using whichever bathrooms, mostly just occupy them, and make the men stand outside and wait. Fuck those idiot monsters.

[magicarpet]

52. Will the pedophiles be forced to go outside behind the US Capitol and pee in the bushes ?

Maybe the pedophiles could bring a five gallon bucket from home. Then do #1 & #2 in their personal portable toilet they carry around the Capitol during their work day. A stairway alcove might be a private spot for their restroom needs. A solid closing lid with a rubber gasket is very much suggested to control the stench.

[Lonestarblue]

2. Does he even have the authority to do this?

[33taw]

15. Yes, as speaker of the house he has that authority.

[tonekat]

3. Sure Little Mikey

Are you the panty checker, or will that job go to Gaetz?

[Groundhawg]

30. Gaetz isn't a member of congress.

[magicarpet]

54. Gaetz could be deputized buy the Speaker,...

... to be the official panty checker of adolecent females. With the primary responsibility to assure delinquency of minors does not occur at the US Capitol unless Uncle Matty is the perpetrator and personal sex orgy mentor.

[Groundhawg]

55. but he isn't

[groundloop]

4. As always, the GQP amplifies a non-issue to keep their base stirred up.

[jimfields33]

33. Each member has their own bathroom.

Each member just use their own bathroom as always.

[wolfie001]

35. I was curious about that

Every Democratic Congressperson and Senator should put a note on their door saying their bathroom facilities are open to everyone. Except for Republicans. Blast that message out!!! With a rainbow flag too!!!

[jimfields33]

36. If they want to. But if I had my own bathroom,

I’d use it for myself. It’s probably part of their office suite. Nobody needs to use it but them.

[wolfie001]

38. Of course. But I believe we are in a social war with republicons

So, extraordinary actions are needed. Minor inconveniences. We need to reverse this sh7tshow in 2 years.

[Botany]

5. How Christian of him. What a complete shit.

BTW Do Johnson and Mace even know that that they have been in multiple restrooms
with LGBT people multiple times? And that nothing happened not unless they wanted it
to happen. Maybe Johnson & Mace get freaky there w/each other.

BTW 2.0 there is nothing sexual about public restrooms unless you are into Cleveland
Steamers and water sports. People go there to shit, piss, fart, wash up, and adjust their
clothes and I think most women’s rooms have doors to the stalls too.

This be scared of trans people meme is straight out of Putin’s playbook.

[Tarzanrock]

6. Infantile, bible thumping Small Johnson ...

... always thinking with his little head. There's just not enough "hate" in the Republican Nazi Party to go around to all its intolerant assholes.

[onecaliberal]

43. He must have the tiniest dick in recorded history.

[Magoo48]

7. He's a nasty, tiny little man.

Will the door monitor be an elected or appointed position?

[japple]

8. Tiny Johnson. Such a mean little man. Believes he's doing god's will.

[JaneQPublic]

9. Yet Johnson & Mace are fine with Gaetz and other REAL Sexual Predators (nt)

[Trust_Reality]

21. Rs are ok having sex with women they have never met, but freak out at the thought of

someone having been born with a mismatch between their soul and some of their body parts that needed to be corrected.

Ignorance is not harmless.

Religiosity does not stop meanness.

"Faith" does not rule out irrational fear.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

26. THIS!!

[Blue Owl]

10. Tim Walz tried to warn us about these weirdos who can't seem to 'mind their own business'

[moose65]

11. This is such a crock

So is he saying that he's OK with McBride being in the men's room with HIM??

All these macho Republicans would melt like ice cream if a trans woman showed up in a men's restroom.

[JoseBalow]

18. Or vice versa

Imagine how they'd react to trans men in the women's restroom!

[SomewhereInTheMiddle]

58. The logical conclusion to the stance they are taking.

I don't think they have thought this out very well.

I would love to see a few busloads of trans activists visiting the Capitol while the House is in session. First day they go into the restrooms that match their gender identity. As they are not known trans folk there would likely be no notice or uproar.

The next day have transmen in the women's rooms and transwomen in the men's rooms nearest the House chambers, just hanging out, staring, may be taking selfies.

The members, their aides, the staff, and the general public might all start asking questions.

Both days together would make for an educational experience and a very interesting discussion point.

Just my thought.

12. Jeffries:Jeffries Republicans are bullying McBride.

Johnson and his gang of bullies have not seen the end of this!!!

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/speaker-johnson-transgender-women-allowed-womens-restrooms-capitol/story?id=116053769
Jeffries Republicans are bullying McBride.

“This incoming, small, House Republican Conference majority is beginning to transition to the new Congress by bullying a member of Congress," Jeffries said Tuesday. "This is what we're doing? This is the lesson that you've drawn from the election in November? This is your priority, that you want to bully a member of Congress, as opposed to welcoming her to join this body so that all of us can work together to get things done and deliver real results for the American people?”

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

[ALBliberal]

51. Hopeful that Jeffries will allow this lady

to use his bathroom

Geez these small small people.

[Turbineguy]

13. Does he like to watch?

[Vinca]

14. I suppose there's no restriction on Gaetz or Hegseth going into the ladies' room.

[cactusfractal]

16. Nancy Mace needs a hatpin

you know where

[people]

17. What an ass!

This is inhuman.

[DFW]

19. Institutionalized cruelty

Just the example to set for the world. Hey, everybody, look what WE turned America into!

[HereForTheParty]

20. How is this enforced?

nm

[SCantiGOP]

22. Enforcement is like all House rules

Either by the Sergeant at Arms or, if necessary, by the Capitol Police.

[HereForTheParty]

24. I mean, if a trans woman walks into the ladies room

how would anyone know she wasn't born a woman?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

23. Statement from Congresswoman-Elect Sarah McBride

This is a very classy person

Link to tweet

[sheshe2]

32. Thanks for posting this statement from, McBride.

She is one classy lady.

[MustLoveBeagles]

48. Far classier than Mace

[sheshe2]

49. That's for dayum sure!

WTF is wrong with these people!

[FakeNoose]

25. Since Rep.-elect Sarah McBride is forced to use the men's room in the Capitol

... then ALL women should use the men's rooms in the Capitol.

Let all women invade the men's rooms and be done with it.

[kelly1mm]

42. She is not forced to use the mens restrooms. There are multiple unisex restrooms at the Capital and

she has her own private restroom in her office.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

27. Little Mike Johnson is still a prick with no balls... fuck that Rethug pig!!

[SWBTATTReg]

28. I laugh, and exactly how are they going to know what the gender (the former gender) of people going into the

restrooms? It's not like everyone is walking around naked or such. Idiot. It's almost as bad as them saying that Gays can't use the bathrooms or such, for people are scared of the Gays. Same thing w/ the blacks, use the 'blacks only' restrooms, etc., etc. etc. This is pathetic, and it's targeting Americans too. Even if they are Trans., Gay, Black, or whatever, they are American.

Why don't you pick some serious issues for once?

The Democrats/Independents need to start a countdown of all the 'bad' or 'ill-advised' bills or topics such as this, and for every 10 bad or disgusting topics, we get a free pass on a democratically sponsored bill, otherwise nothing will get through.

[mcar]

29. So glad they are focusing on lowering costs for American families

Oh, wait...

[pandr32]

31. If he really wants to protect women ...

...he should release the files on Gaetz and refuse to endorse or confirm rapists.

[milestogo]

37. BIGOT.

[Ohioboy]

39. In all the years I've used public restrooms I've never actually seen another person's genitals

People are usually in closed stalls or standing at urinals with partitions between them. Plus, I'm not interested in looking.

Who's peaking? Republicans...are you peaking? Is the problem projection?

Mike Johnson is that you???

[Mr.Bill]

47. I wonder if Speaker Johnson

lets people of each gender use the bathroom at his house?

[kacekwl]

50. Which bathroom will speaker Johnson use

when they find out what species of spineless animal he is. Maybe he should go outside with other critters.

[Sneederbunk]

53. None, being anal-retentive.

[Skittles]

56. he says this while LITERALLY protecting a SEX TRAFFICKER

[LetMyPeopleVote]

57. Sarah McBride has been masterful in her responses to the anti-trans hatred directed at her
