Transgender women will not be permitted to use women’s restrooms in parts of the U.S. Capitol complex, House Speaker Mike Johnson said Wednesday, following some House Republicans’ targeting of the first openly trans person to win a congressional election.

    Don’t know if regular folks are allowed in the bathrooms but I’d say it’s their civic duty to make the women’s bathrooms stink to high hell.

    Every Trump supporter in my neighborhood is on the sexual offender registry, no joke. At first I thought “let’s go Brandon” was some like NAMBLA rallying slogan because literally there are four sex offenders around the area and they were the only people two years ago with Trump and maga shit all over their dumpy little houses. I’d rather be in the bathroom with any trans person than any Republican.

    Is this because he wants to share a bathroom with Sarah McBride? Feels more than a little pervy on his part.

      Why do I have a feeling she’s going to get raped by one of these chucklefucks in the House and Mr. Diseased Johnson up there is going to cover it up and brush it away.

      Edit: and before the downvote train starts, these sorts of hate filled conservative shitfucks have a very strong historical trend towards taking advantage of marginalized or otherwise weakened minorities that they think are easy targets, sexually or otherwise. Sometimes it’s trans people, sometimes it’s kids, sometimes it’s disabled people. I’ve seen it first hand.

    Since Mike Johnson knows which bathrooms Trans people can’t use in the capitol, he should be able to figure out which ones they can use.

    It would be hilarious if they just left the waste in his office wrapped up neatly with a bow so he can make sure it gets to the right place.

    Is it really any worse than an insurrectionist directly taking a shit on Pelosi’s desk?

    Just make all restrooms gender neutral. How has this not been actively happening across this stupid fucking country in the last few years?

        A resolution to a made up problem that also prevents them from being able to use the problem again isn’t a fucking distraction. It’s a solution.

        JFC you black pilled fucks are annoying.

            Nice Kakfa trap. The division is from dumbasses. People who are actually trying to formulate solutions, and implementing them, need to do their work.

            People like you need to get out of the way.

              Someone seems upset.

              What solutions are you formulating and implementing? And which ones am I in the way of by commenting on a lemmy post?

              Clearly you have all the answers. Teach me, o wise one.

    There was no immediate reaction from most House Democrats, including leadership

    Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present, the Democrats.

    All right, better post guards at every gender-specific restroom, and require that people prove their birth gender before entering.

      She said she had no problem following it, even if she disagrees with it. Hopefully she can hold her head up high and deal with wimpy bully tactics until this shit storm passes.
