Johnson vows to accommodate all members as Mace defends transgender bathroom bill

Speaker Mike Johnson said he’s working on a solution to address GOP concerns about transgender women using women’s restrooms on the House side of Capitol Hill, as Rep.-elect Sarah McBride is poised to assume office as the first openly transgender lawmaker in January.

“This is an issue that Congress has never had to address before and we're going to do that in a deliberate fashion ... and we will accommodate the needs of every single person,” Johnson said at a press conference Tuesday.

Hey Mike Johnson, what about protecting girls from sexual predators?

[kateblackthorne]

For those of us who are survivors we don't want this. Build your own BR

[archielang]

Why does this man, Mike Johnson or another man Sarah McBride get a say in who can enter a private female spaces. Anything seem off here?

TERM LIMITS, SINGLE ITEM AT A TIME VOTES NO HIDDEN CRAP AND KEEP MEN OUT OF WOMEN'S RESTROOMS THIS IS NONSENSE BS

I'm trans myself(female to nonbinary) and tbh i agree that people should still go to the bathroom that is for their body. I've never had a problem going into a bathroom just because it's labeled "girls"... im just their to do my business and leave. What I find unacceptable is people using this news as a way to be openly transphobic

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Equal rights and justice for all.

Here we go already. Mealy mouthed johnson can't commit to not wanting men in female spaces. It's falling apart already. These grifters don't want to give up their good life.

Wait, I thought McBride was transgender. Im so confused.

Turns out 'The Family Proclaimation, ' written in 1995 and at the time seemed quite obvious, is one one of the most profound prophetic documents of the last several hundred years:

"All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose."

Gee, wonder why Mace is so afraid of McBride? Mace seems petty and sophomoric.

[Trumper-tv]

speaker Johnson, get on the ride side or be VOTED OUT!

[gpop]

This is a state issue at the states level. Stop the federal governments over reach already people.

[stephenstafford]

Absolute bigotry by Mace and supporters.

[benjaminfranklin]

He is going to accommodate him. He should.
