Mike Johnson Says Trans-Identifying Men Can’t Use Women’s Bathrooms In Capitol: Report
WASHINGTON, DC - FEBRUARY 14: Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) talks to reporters during a news conference at the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center on February 14, 2024 in Washington, DC. After last week's attempt to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas failed, Johnson led his caucus through a second vote this week, ultimately impeaching the first cabinet secretary in almost 150 years by a vote of 214 to 213 Tuesday night. The impeachment triggers a trial in the U.S. Senate which is expected to easily acquit Mayorkas of the charges of high crimes and misdemeanors. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has reportedly said that trans-identifying men will not be allowed to use the women’s restrooms in the U.S. Capitol.

Johnson made the announcement to the GOP conference on Tuesday, POLITICO reported.

“He said there’s not going to be any biological men using our restrooms,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told the outlet.

“It’s pretty aggressive for biological men to be invading our spaces,” Greene said.

The speaker’s comments come after Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced a bill to keep Sarah McBride, a trans-identifying man who will represent Delaware in the House next year, from using the women’s bathrooms at the Capitol.

McBride will be the first ever trans-identifying member of Congress.

Mace’s bill would prohibit House members and staffers from “using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex” in the Capitol and House office buildings.

The prohibition would be enforced by the House sergeant-at-arms, according to the bill.

“Sarah McBride doesn’t get a say in this. If you’re a biological man, you shouldn’t be in women’s restrooms,” Mace told reporters Monday.

Democrats accused Mace of “bullying” the member of Congress-elect.

“This is not just bigotry, this is just plain bullying,” Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said.

Speaker Johnson said at a press conference on Tuesday that there were concerns about trans-identifying men using restrooms and noted that “Congress has never had to address before.”

Gender ideology loomed large over the presidential election this year. President-elect Donald Trump frequently mentioned biological men in women’s sports during his rallies.

Three-fourths of Americans think biological males who identify as women should not be allowed to use the women’s locker rooms, showers, and bathrooms, a new survey from Napolitan News Service found.
