House Republicans Target McBride With Capitol Bathroom Bill https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/19/us/p ... 4V_5kZxn2b
When Representative-elect Sarah McBride, a Delaware Democrat, won her race for the House this month, becoming the first openly transgender person elected to Congress, she knew she would face attacks from hard-right Republicans over her identity.

She just didn’t expect they would start before she had even been sworn in.

In Washington this week for new member orientation, Ms. McBride was still sitting through mandatory cybersecurity trainings, setting up her payroll, selecting district offices and learning how to introduce a bill when her new Republican colleague, Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina, announced plans to introduce a measure to bar transgender women from using women’s restrooms and changing rooms in the Capitol complex.

Ms. Mace did not try to pretend that she was doing anything other than targeting one individual with her resolution, even though it would apply to all employees and officers of the House.

“Sarah McBride doesn’t get a say,” she told reporters on Monday night. “I mean, this is a biological man.” She said that Ms. McBride “does not belong in women’s spaces, women’s bathrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms — period, full stop.”

The move by Ms. Mace, one of the more attention-seeking members of the House, was straight out of the political playbook Republicans have long employed on transgender issues, which they see as an effective wedge to divide Democrats.
The same people that didn't have an issue with white trash Trump supporters storming the Capitol think the real threat is where a congresswoman drops a deuce? This is vile.

This is a trial run to see how much people protest then they will roll it out nationwide. This is the excuse they will have to put us all in jail.

Interesting that Nancy has an issue with trans people, but she's ok being next to an actual rapist: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article ... rooms.html

Remember, supporting sexual offenders is part of the MAGA M.O. (as long as they’re MAGA, of course). Another part of that M.O. is obsessing over culture war issues.

Nope. Decided to join Matt in taking a break from the GOP after my state chose an election denier (Vance) in the primary and general for Senate.

I have been talking to broadcasters on both political sides and we all feel new rules for TV and radio broadcasters will be forth coming and we all agree they will hinder free speech and how and what can be talked about during shows and newscasts.

Being you went there….
You fail to understand what HRT does to a prostate. It shrinks it down to the point where you truly tinkle more than have a garden hose stream.

Interesting didnt know that.

Are HRT a lifelong process or is it just a limited process?

HRT is usually lifelong, yes. There are rarely people who detransition and some do micro dose. Routine blood tests are usually every 6 months especially with T blockers because there are some marginal health risks. However, health risks are typically marginally more than other medications, and the mental health of most trans people is vastly improved at the end of year one.
