GOP Bathroom Bill Sparks Controversy Over Transgender Rights in Capitol

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace has introduced a resolution to ban transgender women from using women's bathrooms in the U.S. Capitol, coinciding with the upcoming swearing-in of Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender person elected to Congress. Mace claims the measure is to protect women's rights, while McBride criticizes it as a distraction from pressing issues like housing and healthcare. The proposal reflects broader Republican efforts to focus on transgender issues, despite criticism from some within the party who prefer to address other policy matters.
