The Hill:

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced Wednesday that transgender women are not permitted to use bathrooms in the Capitol that match their gender identity, taking a stance on the hot-button issue that has overtaken the Capitol in recent days.
The policy — which Johnson announced in a public statement, a draft of which was first reported by The Hill — will also apply to bathrooms in House office buildings, changing rooms and locker rooms. It is unclear when he plans to publish the comments.

Under House rules, the Speaker has "general control" of facilities in the chamber, giving Johnson the authority to issue the policy surrounding bathrooms.

"All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings — such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms — are reserved for individuals of that biological sex," Johnson said. "It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol."

"Women deserve women's only spaces," he added.

Johnson's statement — which was made on Transgender Day of Remembrance, recognized annually to memorialize trans people who died due to anti-trans violence — comes days after Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) introduced a bill to bar transgender women from facilities on Capitol Hill that match their gender identity, a response to the election earlier this month of Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.).

It's pretty cold to ban transpeople from bathroom across the entire Capitol complex on TransRememberance Day. I wonder if Trump's Little Johnson handed them a mason jar? Southern charm remains.

But on the flip side, these dudes are now forced to use Nancy Mace's bathroom, so there is some divine justice:

Heh.

UPDATE 1: Nancy Mace thought of a new way of being a dick: Rep. Mace files bill to ban transgender women from all federal facility bathrooms in U.S.

Cruelty is the point. It always is the point.
