“Woman’s facilities in the capitol and house office buildings, such as restrooms, changing rooms,and locker rooms are reserved for individuals of that biological sex “.

 

"It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol," he said. "Women deserve women's only spaces."

Only question I would ask, if the unisex facilities are easily accessible to the members and staff serving in the House or Senate? If so, then it only boils down to grandstanding as it is a non-issue already accommodated.

Maybe there needs to be a third category of convenience. Ladies. Gents, and Mixed (or some such).

“I’m not here to fight about bathrooms. I’m here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down the costs facing families. Like all members, I will follow the rules outlined by Speaker Johnson, even if I disagree with them,” (Sarah) McBride said Wednesday in a statement posted to the social platform X.

Perfect response to speaker Johnson's idiocy.

USA is now a regressive country. Even Muslim country like Malaysia allow transgender people to use female toilet. 

So are you suggesting that Malaysia is more liberal than the USA?

I felt vulnerable when I was in Vietnam during  122mm rocket and 82 mm mortar attacks.  Now not so much.

How about men's restrooms? Are women also not allowed in them?

They don't want transvestites in any bathrooms.

Where, then, would transvestites go when they have to go to the toilet? There is now one that will be in the House of Representatives.

That's not their concern, they just hate transvestites.

Why? Do transvestites arouse them in ways they don't want to occur in public?

Who knows. I'm not riven by hate so I can't guess their motives. I guess it's a religious thing.

I just wonder because I don't care if my toilet facilities are used by other men, women, or transvestites of either gender unless, of course, they assault me. But that would apply to anyone at any time, not just transvestites.

I really don't know how they cope psychologically with living in Thailand, if any of them do.

Nope, the supporters of men going into Womans restrooms are extremely 

aggressive towards resisting!

 

 Tradition is under attack like never before!

Actually, it might surprise the leftofascists to learn that plenty of us MAGA types wouldn't care that much either... except that the left cannot seem to resist pushing their insanity to the point of pushback.

 

The occasional transexual person, fully living life as a woman, entering and using the bathroom without fanfare? Probably not that big of a deal.

 

Some bearded fat slob in a singlet and pink tutu waving his peepee around and loudly demanding that women accept his "womanhood" in female spaces? No thanks.

 

The former is generally somewhere along the spectrum of "harmless delusion". The latter presents a danger to women and girls.

Yes, I agree with most of what you say above about the two extremes you describe above, but where do you draw the line? I think the line should be drawn in the same place for everyone, not just for transsexuals. For example, I would not want to see a woman coming into a men's restroom, taking off her underware, and lying on the floor with her legs spread. That presents a danger to men and boys.

Women are only allowed in men's restrooms in south east asia, where women clean the men's restrooms.

Yes, women do clean men's restrooms in Thailand where I live. Sometimes a man does, but most times, a woman. I don't think the male cleaners are allowed in women's restrooms, though, but I don't know that for sure.

And, in Thailand, there are 'ladyboys' (gay men who sometimes dress as women). I wonder which restrooms they go to. I've seen them occasionally in men's restrooms, but not very often. Maybe they usually go to women's restrooms?

But, when I lived in the USA, sometimes at big events, like rock concerts or baseball/football games, women would go into men's restrooms during a break or halftime because the line to the women's restrooms was so long. When that happened, no one (men) really cared at all. Some were amused, but no one objected.
