Sara McBride, the first transgender woman elected to the U.S. Congress, anticipates hostility from opponents following her victory. Amidst heated national debates on transgender rights, Republican lawmakers have proposed restrictions on transgender women’s use of female restrooms in the Capitol. McBride, who advocates for LGBTQ+ rights, asserts she will respect new rules while focusing on the pressing issues facing her constituents in Delaware. The political landscape reflects a sharp divide over transgender issues, amplified by figures like Donald Trump during his campaign.
