House Speaker Mike Johnson, Backed by Reps. Mace and Greene, Bans Trans Women from Capitol Bathrooms
Nov 20, 2024, 05:13 PM
House Speaker Mike Johnson has announced a policy that prohibits transgender women, who are biologically male, from using women's restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms in the Capitol and House Office Buildings. This decision follows efforts led by Rep. Nancy Mace and supported by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Johnson emphasized that 'women deserve women's only spaces' and stated that all single-sex facilities will be reserved for individuals of that biological sex. The policy, reported by Punchbowl News, is set to be implemented as Congress prepares to welcome its first openly transgender member. Johnson informed the GOP conference of this decision, but it remains unclear how the policy will be enforced.
