Sarah McBride, a Delaware state senator, made history as the first out transgender person elected to the House of Representatives.

McBride was overcome with gratitude at her historic victory gushing on Twitter/X:

“Thank you, Delaware! I am proud to be your next member of Congress. Delaware has sent the message loud and clear that … this is a democracy that is big enough for all of us.”

But before McBride has been sworn-in, she was hit with the harsh reality that transgender persons are second-class citizens in the Trump regime.

South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace introduced a resolution to ban transgender women from women’s restrooms at the US Capitol.

“Sarah McBride doesn’t get a say. I mean, this is a biological man, the MAGA firebrand told reporters, adding that McBride “does not belong in women’s spaces, women’s bathrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, period, full stop.”

Transgender women are women, period, full stop. Mace’s resolution to ban transgender women from women’s restrooms is discriminatory, anti-trans bigotry and bullying of the worst kind.

McBride should be welcomed with open arms by her Republican colleagues, her victory is a sign that we are making progress in making America a more perfect union. McBride should be allowed to focus on passing legislation that benefits her constituents and not have to waste time fighting a blatantly anti-trans resolution.

In a perfect world this misguided resolution would go down in flames, but I’m afraid that it may very well pass in the GOP-controlled House of Representatives.
