House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) took a bold stand Wednesday, announcing a new policy that bars biological men from using women’s bathrooms in the U.S. Capitol. The move, detailed in a press release that PJ Media obtained, reflects a decisive step in prioritizing the privacy and safety of women’s spaces.
“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”, the speaker said.
Johnson’s announcement comes after Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) took a stand for women’s privacy and safety by introducing legislation to bar biological men who “identify” as women from using women’s restrooms in the U.S. Capitol. Mace’s legislation was a preemptive move ahead of Tim “Sarah” McBride, a transgender-identifying man elected to the House of Representatives, being sworn in this coming January.
“It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol”, Johnson noted. “Women deserve women’s only spaces.”
On Tuesday, Johnson dodged a question about whether Mace’s bill would be introduced.
“I’m not going to address the plans on any of that”, Johnson explained.
