Transgender Lawmaker Sarah McBride Faces Political Attacks Amid Bathroom Debate
Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender person elected to the U.S. Congress, faces a bathroom ban proposal from Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, echoing a similar incident experienced by Italian ex-politician Vladimir Luxuria in 2006. Luxuria expressed sympathy for McBride, attributing the issue to "rank politics" aimed at generating division. The proposal, supported by House Speaker Mike Johnson, restricts restroom use to biological sex, highlighting ongoing political tensions over transgender rights.
