The first transgender member of Congress, a bathroom ban and much angst
Posted on 11/23/2024
After two weeks of unbridled elation over the election of Delaware’s Sarah McBride, set to become the first transgender member of Congress, the country’s trans community is caught up in a swirl of angst, anger and fear.
For many people, it’s not just because of Rep. Nancy Mace, the South Carolina Republican who days ago introduced a resolution to ban transgender individuals in the U.S. Capitol from using bathrooms that align with their gender identity. And it’s about more than House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) and his quick support of Mace’s effort.
