Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fumed over House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) pushing to ban men identifying as transgender from being able to use the women’s bathroom.
“It’s disgusting. And everybody, no matter how you feel on this issue, should reject it completely,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “They’re doing this so that Nancy Mace can make a buck and send a text and fundraise off an email. They’re not doing this to protect people.”
“They’re endangering women,” she added. “They’re endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It’s gross.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s remarks come after Johnson signaled support for Mace’s measure that would allow people to only use bathrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms that correspond with their biological sex.
“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 in a statement.

“It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol,” he added. “Women deserve women’s only spaces.”
Mace provided her bill, dubbed the “Protecting Women’s Private Spaces Act,” exclusively to The Daily Wire this week.
The bill prohibits “individuals from accessing or using single-sex facilities on federal property other than those corresponding to their biological sex.”
Mace told Daily Wire host Michael Knowles that her legislation should not be controversial, arguing that independent voters and even Democrats are “with us” when it comes to “forcing this crazy gender ideology down the throats of our children and other Americans across the country.”
“I’m going to do everything I can to protect women and girls here on the hill, but also across the nation,” she said on “The Michael Knowles Show,” where she first unveiled the bill. “This is a question that needs to be answered. Do women have rights or not? Are we going to allow these men to bully us into submission? And I say, no, no more. I’m done with this.”
“There’s no amount of bullying and threats on my life that they’ve made this week that’s going to stop me from this,” she added, promising to “fight like hell” for the protection of women and girls.
