Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene wants men banned from women’s spaces in ‘all taxpayer-funded facilities’

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, recently made headlines by suggesting that she would support banning biological men from women’s spaces in all taxpayer-funded facilities. This controversial statement comes amidst a push by Rep. Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina, to prohibit House members and others from using single-sex spaces in the Capitol or House office buildings that do not align with their biological sex.

Mace’s resolution states that “a Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House may not use a single-sex facility (including a restroom, changing room, or locker room) in the Capitol or House Office Buildings, other than those corresponding to the biological sex of such individual,” with enforcement by the House sergeant-at-arms.

Delaware state Sen. Sarah McBride, a Democrat who identifies as transgender, was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives during the 2024 election. In response to Mace’s resolution, McBride, a biological male, emphasized that individuals should respect each other’s differences and engage respectfully in the workplace. McBride, who will be the first openly transgender member of Congress, expressed the importance of focusing on critical issues like affordable housing, healthcare, and childcare, rather than engaging in divisive culture wars.

Greene, in a video, asserted that McBride, as a biological male, should use the men’s restroom and not women’s spaces. She also expressed her support for a resolution that would ban men from women’s restrooms in all taxpayer-funded facilities.

Despite the controversy surrounding the issue, the focus remains on McBride’s upcoming swearing-in as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. It is evident that the debate over transgender rights and access to public facilities continues to spark heated discussions in the political arena.

Fox News Digital reached out to McBride for comment, but no response was received at the time of writing. The ongoing debate underscores the need for respectful dialogue and understanding on all sides of the issue.
