US House Speaker Backs Bathroom Ban for First Openly Trans Member

The Republican speaker of the US House of Representatives has voiced support for banning a newly elected transgender woman from using women’s restrooms in the legislature. “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,” Speaker Mike Johnson said in a statement. Sarah McBride, who takes office in January, said she would comply with the rules set out by Johnson, “even if I disagree with them.” “Each of us were sent here because voters saw something in us that they value,” she said on social media. “I look forward to seeing those qualities in every member come January. I hope all my colleagues will seek to do the same with me.” Johnson suggested in his statement that McBride would be limited to using the Capitol’s unisex bathrooms or the bathroom in her office.
