The first openly transgender member of Congress elected to the U.S. House of Representatives responded Wednesday to a ban on biological males in congressional bathrooms designated for women.
Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride of Delaware released the statement after Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson announced the ban earlier in the day.
‘I’m just a woman trying to pee in peace in the women’s restroom without a MAN IN IT.’
“I’m not here to fight about bathrooms. I’m here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down costs facing families,” McBride wrote in a social media post. “Like all members, I will follow the rules as outlined by Speaker Johnson, even if I disagree with them.”
