Sarah McBride, the first transgender woman elected to the US Congress, faces opposition from Republicans regarding restroom access at the Capitol. Republican Leader Mike Johnson insists on restricting her to bathrooms designated for her ‘biological sex’, highlighting a broader cultural clash over LGBTQ+ rights. Critics, including Democrats, label the effort as bullying and call for focus on pressing issues like housing and healthcare. McBride’s election in Delaware, occurring amidst a narrow Republican majority, has sparked significant political discourse.
