House Speaker Declares 'A Man Cannot Become A Woman'

House gop Speaker of the House Mike Johnson

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., recently faced questions regarding Rep.-elect Sarah McBride, D-Del., who is set to become the first openly transgender member of Congress. When asked whether McBride is a man or a woman, Johnson initially declined to provide a direct response, stating, 'I'm not gonna get into this.'

However, Johnson later issued a statement asserting his belief that 'a man cannot become a woman.' This comes amidst a resolution proposed by Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., aiming to restrict the use of single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House office buildings based on biological sex.

The resolution, if passed, would prevent individuals from using facilities that do not align with their biological sex, with enforcement falling under the House sergeant-at-arms. Johnson emphasized that while he stands by the distinction between men and women, he also advocates for treating everyone with dignity and respect.

McBride, who has been at the center of this debate, responded by highlighting the importance of focusing on substantive issues such as housing affordability, healthcare, and child care. She criticized the attempt to shift attention towards cultural controversies instead of addressing the real challenges faced by Americans.

As the discussion around transgender rights and equality continues to unfold in the political arena, McBride remains steadfast in her commitment to serving her constituents and working towards a more inclusive and accessible American dream.
