Donald Trump handed a crushing defeat to Kamala Harris in the United States presidential election. He is set to be sworn in as the country’s next president. But history has also been made in this election. For the first time, a transgender candidate was elected. But her gender also gave rise to new controversy.
A transgender woman named Democrat Sarah McBride arrived in the United States Parliament for the first time. Sara was born a man but is now a transgender woman. She has been elected to the lower house of parliament, i.e. the Delaware House of Representatives.
How did the controversy start?
Republican Party MP Nancy Mace had objected to Sarah McBride using the women’s bathroom in Parliament. He had said he wouldn’t allow Sara to use the women’s bathrooms.
Nancy Mace has also presented a proposal in this regard in the United States House of Representatives. This two-page proposal has a provision to prevent Members of Parliament, officials and employees of Parliament from using toilets that are not of their original gender (the gender they were born).
This proposal states that allowing people born male to access women’s restrooms, locker rooms, and locker rooms may jeopardize the safety and dignity of women. He said Sarah McBride was born a male and she cannot be allowed this. I won’t tolerate this.
What did Sarah McBride say about this controversy?
About this whole issue, Sara said that it is a ploy by right-wing leaders to divert attention from real problems. They have no solutions to the problems that American citizens face every day.
US House Speaker Mike Johnson has supported Parliament’s plans to ban transgender women from using women’s bathrooms. Johnson said in the statement that the space is very important to women. This ban will remain in effect in the Capitol and buildings related to Parliament.
There is a scandal over the transgender representative who won the US Parliament using the bathroom; the speaker of the House of Representatives forbade her from going to the women’s bathroom.
