Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Speaker Mike Johnson, echoing Rep. Nancy Mace's proposals, has enforced a new policy banning transgender individuals from using bathrooms that match their gender identity within the Capitol, prompting widespread condemnation from Democrats. Incoming Rep. Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress, expressed intent to comply with the policy while emphasizing her focus on Delawareans' issues. Critics, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, argue this policy endangers women and promotes discrimination, and even within the GOP, there is concern regarding enforcement and implications on safety. Mace's original resolution further extends restrictions to all federal buildings.
