Tell me you missed the point without telling me you missed the point
Uh, no, I'm a trans woman and I would never be willing to step foot into a men's room so I'm glad that despite this bigoted move she won't either.
She might not have to but there are plenty of trans staffers in the capitol who may not have access to a gender neutral restroom like she will have in her office.
What happens to them? This effects everyone in the building?
Me? I’d use the women’s room and sue them under anti-discrimination laws if they said boo about it. What we need is a legislator willing to do this. Not someone who just goes along to get along.
My understanding is that there are gender neutral bathrooms throughout the capital, on top of the private bathrooms each rep has in their offices. This is still a disgrace.
Sarah McBride is a very lukewarm centrist, she is not going to stand up for herself or anyone else unfortunately. She's a Zionist, so not exactly progressive.
I also would use the women's room in defiance of these rules. But I expect her to stick to the neutral ones and toe the line because that is who she is. It's easy to expect all trans women to be woke leftists/socialists/anarchists or even communists. But we are just a bunch of people with a medical condition in common.
