TL;DR Summary

House Speaker Mike Johnson is under pressure from some Republican members to restrict transgender Rep-elect Sarah McBride from using women's bathrooms at the Capitol. Rep. Nancy Mace has proposed a bill to enforce this restriction, which she claims Johnson agreed to include in House rules, though he has not confirmed this publicly. The issue has sparked heated debate, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene threatening a physical altercation over the matter. Critics, including Rep. Maxwell Frost, argue the focus should be on substantive issues rather than culture wars.
