House Republicans signal support for proposal to ban bathroom access for 1st transgender member

House Speaker Mike Johnson signaled support for a Republican effort to ban Democrat Sarah McBride — the first transgender person to be elected to Congress — from using women’s restrooms in the Capitol once she’s sworn into office next year. After citing his Christian faith earlier in the day, Johnson told AP later Tuesday that “we're not going to have men in women's bathrooms.” It was in response to a resolution proposed this week by GOP Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina that would prohibit any lawmakers and House employees from “using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex.” Mace said the bill is aimed specifically at McBride, who was elected to the House this month from Delaware.

UK Supreme Court hears landmark legal challenge over how a 'woman' is defined in law

The U.K. Supreme Court has begun hearing a legal challenge focusing on the definition of “woman” in a long-running dispute between a women’s right campaign group and the Scottish government. Five judges at Britain’s highest court are considering a case which seeks to clarify whether a trans person with a gender recognition certificate that recognizes them as female can be regarded as a woman under equality law. While the case centers on Scottish law, the women's campaign group bringing the challenge has said its outcome could have U.K.-wide consequences for sex-based rights as well as everyday single-sex services such as toilets and hospital wards.

Transgender trailblazer Sarah McBride heads to her debut in Congress

U.S. Rep.-elect Sarah McBride will be sworn in as the first openly transgender member of Congress on Jan. 3. The Democrat's political victory comes during a reckoning for transgender rights, and after an election filled with campaign ads and politicians demeaning trans people. Already her reception from congressional Republicans has been tumultuous, and an anti-trans Capitol bathroom ban was enacted in the wake of her historic election. McBride told The Associated Press that “there is so much joy and so much awe in having this opportunity,” and she will not let anyone take that away from her. She said she was simply there to do the job just like anyone else.

@persagen One way to deal with the spreading bathroom bans would be to step into a closet, piss in a bottle (wide mouth if needed), then dump it in front of the bathroom door. Or save some from home, same drill.

A few dumps handled this way would REALLY raise a stink so to speak.

It's not just that he promoted anti-trans rhetoric. He made clear promises. Not just his off the cuff, stream of consciousness stuff, but actual position statements still up on his campaign site.

The gist of it is a culmination of all the worst anti-trans laws so far. Banning trans health care for all ages, prosecuting providers and prohibiting legal transition - including reverting ID's & BC's regardless of how long ago someone had them changed.
