Transgender Freshman-Elect ‘Sarah’ McBride Responds to Speaker Johnson’s Decision to Ban Men From Women’s Restrooms on Capitol Hill

Delaware state senator Tim “Sarah” McBride, a biological male who has since ‘transitioned’ to a woman, became the first transgender elected to the U.S. House of Representatives after winning Delaware’s only House seat.

“Tonight is a testament to Delawareans that here in our state of neighbors, we judge candidates based on their ideas and not their identities,” McBride said earlier this month.

“While at this moment in America’s history, hope sometimes feels hard to come by, we must never forget that we are the beneficiaries of seemingly impossible change,” added McBride.

Rep. Mace introduced a resolution to keep transgenders like McBride out of women’s restrooms at the US Capitol.

Transgender Rep. McBride responded to Speaker Johnson’s decision to ban biological men from women’s restrooms.

“I’m not here to fight about bathrooms,” McBride said.” Like all members, I will follow the rules as outlined by Speaker Johnson, even if I disagree with them.”

“This effort to distract from the real issues facing this country hasn’t distracted me,” said McBride, a biological man who wears women’s dresses and heels.
