House Speaker Mike Johnson said transgender women cannot use women's restrooms in the Capitol and House office buildings. This also applies to changing rooms and locker rooms, Johnson said.
"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 statement said Wednesday.
Johnson continued, "It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol."
It's unclear what will happen with South Carolina GOP Rep. Nancy Mace's bill.
Mace said Tuesday that the bill she introduced to ban transgender women from using women's restrooms at the U.S. Capitol was "absolutely" in response to Rep.-elect Sarah McBride entering Congress.

Sarah McBride aside, how will they know a transgender woman used the women's restrooms without violating her privacy?

The anti-discrimination laws protect employees. A member of congress is not an employee of the speaker.

Anything sex/gender related can be used to stir up the base. It works every single time.
