"It is not surprising to me that an anti-trans bill will be the first, if not one of the first bills they put forward. It's going to be important for us to acknowledge the harm that anti-LGBTQ legislation presents, but also to pull back the curtain on what these attacks are attempting to do, which is to distract from issues that impact our economy and worker protections. These policies harm not just LGBTQ people but everyone who believes in freedom and dignity for all."
"Mace's proposal to bar transgender people from using bathrooms aligned with their gender identity was roundly criticized. Critics described it as not only discriminatory but also unenforceable, raising concerns about targeting Rep. Sarah McBride specifically, the first out trans member of Congress, in a thinly veiled attempt to roll back rights."
