Nancy Mace, Republican senator, introduced a measure that would ban access to trans women in the women’s restroom of the Capitolas explained by the AFP agency. Everything, after the election of Sarah McBrideDemocrat, who in early November became the first transgender person to be elected as a representative in Congress.
Something that has sparked endless criticism, like that of MP Becca Balint: “It’s cruelty without limit. “This is an initiative full of hatred.”
Mark Pocan, chairman of the Congressional Equality Commission, took a similar position: “This resolution is a pathetic move to get attention from Trump and the media. “Trans people are paying the price.”
Mace: “It’s sick, it’s twisted.”
Mace, on social media, responded to the criticism he receives with a clear message: “A man wants to enter our bathroom and we are the bullies? Men have no place in our private spaces. It’s something sick. It’s twisted”.
There are those who defend the position of Mace, a Republican representative from South Carolina. This is the case of Mike Johnson, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, who declared that “a man is a man and a woman is a woman” and that “a man cannot become a woman”.
Also Marjorie Taylor Green, Republican Representative from Georgia: “He’s a biological male. “You should not use any of our restrooms at the Capitol.”
McBride responds in
McBride, in X, spoke on the subject and described Mace’s measure as a “blatant attempt by the far right to distract from the fact that they have no real solutions for Americans. »
“I’m not here to fight for bathrooms. I’m the voice of Delawareans. When we see the new administration speak derogatorily about anyone who is vulnerable, I guarantee it’s an attempt to distract from the Americans because right now they are vulnerable.” steal from workers’ pockets and defrauding the elderly,” he said.
Currently, 14 US states have laws that prohibit transgender people to use the bathroom that corresponds to their gender identity.
