Speaker Mike Johnson said transgender women should not use women’s bathrooms in the House, adding fuel to a push led by Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C.
“All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings — such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms — are reserved for individuals of that biological sex,” he said in a Wednesday statement.
“It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol. Women deserve women’s only spaces,” the statement continued.
