“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 obtained by Fox News Digital. “It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol.”  …

“Like all policies, it is enforceable,” Johnson later told reporters. “But we have single-sex facilities for a reason, and women deserve women’s only spaces. And we’re not anti anyone.

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., earlier this week introduced a resolution that moves to prohibit members, officers and employees of the House from using “single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex.”

Mace, who is a rape survivor, was derided by Democrats, including McBride, as a “right-wing extremist” over the resolution, but the South Carolina congresswoman doubled down on Wednesday.

She introduced another new bill to “ban biological men from using women’s private, protected facilities — such as bathrooms and locker rooms — on all federal property” across the country. …
