House Speaker Mike Johnson declared on Nov. 20 that women’s facilities in the Capitol complex are reserved for biological females, as Congress is poised to swear in its first openly transgender rep.

“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 (R-La.) said in a statement.

The speaker’s announcement comes in response to controversy among House Republican lawmakers over transgender Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.), who represents the First State’s at-large district. NY Post reporter Ryan King shares this story.
