TL;DR Summary

South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace has introduced a resolution to ban transgender women from using women's restrooms at the US Capitol, following the election of Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender person elected to Congress. Mace argues that McBride, whom she refers to as a 'biological man,' should not be allowed in women's spaces. McBride responded by emphasizing the need for Congress to focus on real issues like housing and healthcare, rather than engaging in culture wars. This move is part of a broader trend of Republican-led efforts to restrict transgender rights in the US.
