People that Congress should *actually* ban from the bathrooms
If Sarah McBride gets a whole bill, so should these folks.
The new Republican majority in Washington has wasted no time in preparing to tackle its most pressing agenda items: taming inflation, confronting the immigration crisis, and navigating multiple international conflicts.
Lol, just kidding… could you imagine? What they’re actually doing is writing entire laws to punish one specific person for the unconscionable act of becoming their colleague.
In case you missed it, Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina has introduced a ban on transgender women using the female bathrooms in the U.S. Capitol. There’s no mystery to her motivations here. When Mace was asked whether the bill was in response to the election of Sarah McBride, an incoming Democratic representative from Delaware who recently became the first trans candidate to win a congressional election, Mase said, “Yes and absolutely, and then some.”1
Chortle has a long-held editorial stance that we as a society ought to leave trans people the fuck alone and let them go about their lives, especially when it comes to all the weird bathroom stuff. Gendered toilets are completely unnecessary in the vast majority of circumstances. The main need I see is so that women don’t have to deal with guys peeing on the floor. And even if Mace won’t accept McBride’s gender identity, surely McBride doesn’t seem like a floor pisser—that’s much more of a Marjorie Taylor Greene energy.
