It would take 75 years for congresswomen to have any restrooms adjacent to the Senate floor. And in 2011, nearly a century after Jeannette Rankin became the first woman in Congress, women lawmakers got their first bathroom near the House chamber.
In recent years, women lawmakers have had to use the private quarters of the Speaker of the House just to find a restroom that reliably stocks tampons and pads. Banning trans women from women’s restrooms would continue a long history at the U.S. Capitol of women lawmakers being forced to find alternate ways to simply do their job.
I’ve got a question. Who will enforce these “golden rules”? Who is the bathroom monitor?
Matt Gaetznevermind, everyone in Congress is over 18.And how do you prove you’re the “right” gender?
You show your junk to the toilet inspector and wait for the “duos habet et bene pendentes”.
