Das Repräsentantenhaus wird nächstes Jahr sein erstes offen transsexuelles Mitglied haben. Die GOP greift sie bereits an.

  1. >On Wednesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that he is barring trans women from women’s bathrooms in the Capitol, following a proposal from South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace (R) to do just that.

    I wonder what Johnson is going to do when all the infantile Republican Congressmen freak out over seeing Representative McBride in the bathroom.

    Can he do that? Is he making it a law? We’ve had to legislate away hate from republicans but they still attack the civil rights of other people. When they lose the power to inflict their hatred on transpeople, who will be next?

    The people spoke and chose her. We don’t like the GOP and no one’s calling for a democrat only toilet. Sit down.

    Trans rights issues have seen a major polling decline in the past few years, and studies apparently show that Trump’s anti trans ass were by far some of his most persuasive ads, so it’s possible that Americans will see the GOP engaging in nasty bullying against the one trans member of Congress, and will basically end up siding with the bullies. It’s really fucking depressing

    So she will be forced to use the men’s room?

    I give it a week tops before she’s assaulted by a MAGAt in there

  6. The best part of this whole drama is that if I didn’t already know who Nancy Mace is, I’d probably think she is the woman who was born as a man. Maybe she shouldn’t be the one throwing the first stone…

    Where tf are the “don’t tread on me” people? Awful fuckin quiet.

    The GQP is wholly and totally incapable of governing. Completely detached from reality. Taken by insane conspiracy theories and fascist undercurrents; the modern Republican Party has boiled down to extremist white Christian nationalism with a flair for terrorism.

  9. Nancy Mace wants to bitch and moan about “protecting women” but will stay awfully silent on Matt Gaetz. 

    Fuck Nancy Mace. 

  10. 1 trans woman elected to congress and magats are already banning her from normal activities and threatening to beat her up

  11. RipErRiley on

    “Protecting women” Why are you enabling and covering up sexual abusers then?!

  12. shadowdra126 on

    They are worried about her more than the pedophiles they want to support.

    Christian values at their best

    First off, using Nancy Mace as the thumbnail for this article, chef’s kiss 🤌🏼. Secondly, this fine person has been working their entire life to be successful, to break down cultural barriers, to overcome stereotypes, to come to grips with their true identity, to be elected as a member of the United States House of Representatives…just so she could maybe get the opportunity to peek over the bathroom stall and see Margorie Taylor Green’s dick? Shut the fuck up already. These dumb fucks keep acting like PUBLIC restrooms have been these hallowed safe spaces where nothing untoward ever happens. CREEPS EXIST in all shapes, sizes and forms. Gay creeps, straight creeps, trans creeps, non binary creeps, androgynous creeps, preists, youth pastors, adult pastors, republican, democrat, the list encompasses every demographic. Go in the bathroom, make your pee pees and poo poos, then wash your hands and leave. If someone is being inappropriate, then leave sooner or alert the authorities. To think people throw their lives into turmoil, put themselves through the incredibly difficult gauntlet of coming out and doing what they need to do to feel comfortable in their own skin just to gain access to the other bathroom is just beyond idiotic.

  14. Of course the GOP is attacking her. They have to demonize someone.

  15. Skeptical_Savage on

    It’s disgusting that in 2024, our United States Congress has litigated what bathroom a person can use, just to bully a single trans woman.

  16. IAmMuffin15 on

    Note the word “openly.”

    There’s a good chance trans people have been in Congress before secretly, went to their bathroom of choice, and somehow all of civilization didn’t suddenly and instantly collapse on itself.

  17. Aggressive-Cut5836 on

    So would trans men be forced to use the women’s bathroom? Have people thought through how that one would work? Women might freak out seeing a man in the women’s bathroom but they’d be cool if he just explains that he was born female?

  18. EE-420-Lige on

    U got people like Matt gaetz running around but this is who the GOP is worried about lmao 🤣

  19. AdkRaine12 on

    It’s their major focus: to distract from the kiddie f*cker they want for AG.

  20. Green_Ordinary_9359 on

    Spending yo time and power to fuck with someone else’s life is the smalldickiest energy ever.

  21. Shigglyboo on

    I hope she uses any bathroom she pleases. Time for good trouble. Force them to do the awful things they’re promising.
    Just be prepared to defend yourself too.

  22. skiddadle32 on

    Of course. She’s the perfect distraction from all the other shit they’re working on.

  23. ambercrush on

    Attacking the trans woman just for taking a pee in a bathroom instead of going after the cabinet picks full of sex offenders. This is getting too much noise. It’s just noise! These republicans are just making drama to switch the focus

  24. CapGullible8403 on

    “Attacking” = criticizing

    “rejects the existence of trans people” = criticizes trans people

  25. I think her response to it was perfect though. “You idiots want to argue about bathrooms, I’m here to work”

  26. Depeche_Mood82 on

    All it took was bigotry to get the house to work efficiently.

  27. HomeBuyerthrowaway89 on

    I never know if taking the low road will just exacerbate things but Dem women should transvestigate R women in the bathroom. Accuse Marjorie of being a man everytime you see you her (I mean look at her)

  28. Why are we so obsessed with bathrooms? A lot of world uses the same room with private stalls! Maybe we should have gender restaurants?

  29. 518doberman on

    To bad the GOP didn’t tackle school shootings and mental health like 1 trans person using a bathroom in congress! F-Trump and the GOP!
