United States Congress transgender bathroom dispute

On November 18, 2024, Nancy Mace introduced a bathroom bill in the US House of Representatives to ban transgender people, and specifically newly elected member Sarah McBride, from using bathrooms other than those of their sex assigned at birth. Two days later, U.S. House speaker Mike Johnson declared that Mace's ban was being ushered in.

The bill seeks to prevent "members, officers, and employees of the House from using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex". Mace stated her intent was to act as a litmus test for women's rights among male Republican politicians.
