G.O.P. lawmakers whose leaders have pressed to roll back transgender rights around the country moved to bar Sarah McBride, the first transgender member of Congress, from women’s rooms on Capitol Hill.

In Washington this week for new member orientation, Ms. McBride was still sitting through mandatory cybersecurity trainings, setting up her payroll, selecting district offices and learning how to introduce a bill when her new Republican colleague, Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina, announced plans to introduce a measure to bar transgender women from using women’s restrooms and changing rooms in the Capitol complex.

Ms. Mace did not try to pretend that she was doing anything other than targeting one individual with her resolution, even though it would apply to all employees and officers of the House.

“Sarah McBride doesn’t get a say,” she told reporters on Monday night. “I mean, this is a biological man.” She said that Ms. McBride “does not belong in women’s spaces, women’s bathrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms — period, full stop.”

    What a cunt. And for the first time in a very, very long time, I do not mean that in the jocular, gender-neutral Scottish way. I mean it in the mean, American way. Including this time, I can still count the number of times on one hand that I’ve used that word in that way.

      It’s literally the first word that comes to mind when you read her hateful small-minded and petty statement regarding a new fellow member of Congress who has never done a single fucking thing to her to deserve such blatant disrespect

      Ms. Mace is indeed, a cunt.

      And I don’t mean the jovial mate-ship meaning of the word in Australian vernacular.

    Hear me out: she should own this and use the men’s room. And I mean USE it. Get as melodramatic, exaggerated, and make those men uncomfortable as hell. Make yourself known when you enter, be loud, be messy, take up 3/4 of the counter space.

      I heard someone else suggest she should get a porta potty and wheel it around the house of representatives on a pallet jack and be annoying as possible with it. That way she can still piss them off and not have to risk any danger using the men’s room.

      Cuz who the fuck cares?

      I really need someone to explain to me what they’re doing in the bathroom that is so sensitive to the presence of other people and their particular genitalia.

      When I use a public bathroom, my goal is to get in and get out with zero interpersonal interaction. I don’t want someone to do so much as hold the door open for a quarter-second. If you’re my best friend in the outside world — in here, I don’t know you.

      Why? They’re not disabled and a bathroom is just a bathroom. It’s just Rs creating a problem where there isn’t one.

      They’re not disabled? Also, does the Capitol HAVE bathrooms in sets of 3? Women’s, mens, and handicapped?
