An Open Letter
To: Rep. Higgins
From: A verified voter in Lafayette, LA
November 21
I understand that Rep. Nancy Mace introduced a bill to keep transgender women from using the Capitol Hill bathrooms. It’s aimed, of course, at Sarah McBride, who will be the first transgender member of Congress. Watching grown adults bully a transgender lawmaker is repugnant. If the Republicans supporting this bill really care about “protecting women and girls,” as they claim, why do they not condemn the nomination of several known sexual assaulters to Trump’s cabinet, including at least one statutory rapist? This is just performative cruelty because Republicans have no policy solutions. Shame on them and shame on any Congressmember who supports it. Thanks.
