South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace has introduced a bill banning transgender women from using women's restrooms in the U.S. Capitol, demonstrating ongoing legislative battles over gender access.
Mace’s bill would empower the House sergeant-at-arms to enforce bathroom access, with Speaker Mike Johnson signaling support, indicating a shift in policy affecting trans rights.
Sarah McBride, the first out trans person elected to Congress, emphasized the need for kindness and respect among members, reflecting the broader societal challenge regarding gender identity.
The architectural history of the U.S. Capitol shows a long-standing neglect for women's facilities, reminiscent of societal attitudes towards gender equality in spaces of power.
