I don’t know what you do in public bathrooms, but apparently Rep. Nancy Mace (Magat-SC) needs more privacy when it comes to her activities. Of course we need rules about this, and we need them NOW. Newly elected Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE), Congress’s first openly transgender representative, hasn’t even been seated yet and they are already preparing to make her life miserable. Note to Nancy, lose the middle school attitude, we have enough drama as it is, and bigger problems to solve. And really, the giant cross earrings? WWJD?

Never mind that transgendered people have been using Capitol Hill bathrooms for years  without incident. Yes, even during 45’s administration. Many bars/restaurants have unisex bathrooms nowadays. It’s no big deal. Really. The toilets are enclosed. The sinks are not, but if someone is doing something that requires privacy at a sink, well, save it for at home. None of us wants to see it.

Ya know, I am sick of hearing pundits blaming Dem focus on trans issues as a reason Trump won. All the ads I saw that had anything to do with trans folk were negative ads by Republican backers. So the media pushed questions of Dems towards comments on trans rights. What else can they respond but that trans people are fellow human beings who deserve to be able to do human things, like go to the bathroom without getting beat up, physically or emotionally. The GOP is the only gang who cares about who is using which bathroom or locker room. I’m sure Speaker Johnson will listen to all sides and find a solution to this non problem.
