(Daily Caller) Democratic Delaware Rep.-elect Sarah McBride, a biological male, caved on Wednesday to House Republicans’ demands to avoid women’s bathrooms and facilities at the U.S. Capitol.
House Speaker Mike Johnson ordered Wednesday that “all single-sex facilities” in the Capitol and House office buildings are to be “reserved for individuals of that biological sex,” which corresponds with Republican South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace’s resolution mandating for women’s spaces to be solely reserved for biological females. McBride, who is the first incoming elected representative to identify as transgender, said he will follow Johnson’s rules by only using the men’s bathroom and other single-sex facilities intended for men.
“I’m not here to fight about bathrooms. I’m here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down costs facing families,” McBride said in a statement. “Like all members, I will follow the rules as outlined by Speaker Johnson, even if I disagree with them.”
