Sarah McBride, who became the first openly trans member of Congress this past election, uploaded a post on her X account on Wednesday, claiming she would follow the rules established by House Speaker Mike Johnson who had previously announced transgender women would be banned from using restrooms and locker facilities throughout the U.S. Capitol complex that align with their gender identity.
The Delaware Congresswoman posted a letter along on X, along with a caption that reads "I'm not here to fight about bathrooms. I'm here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down costs facing families." The rest of the message refers to the recent outcry around bathroom usage in The House as an "effort to distract from real issues facing this country" which haven't distracted her from "preparing to represent the greatest state in the union come January."
