To the editor: In studying concerning the bigoted assault on the primary brazenly transgender individual elected to the U.S. Home, I’ve these phrases to say about this bullying in trying to limit her use of women’s restrooms at the U.S. Capitol: disgusting, barbaric and, dare I say, un-American.
We’ve lengthy learn concerning the president-elect’s important and, sure, silly plan to deport tens of millions of immigrants instantly and the hassle to eradicate the U.S. Division of Schooling. However I by no means thought that we’d be studying about the fitting to make use of the toilet of 1’s alternative as among the many greatest authorities points with the brand new administration getting ready to take over.
America has lots to do to get its home so as, however limiting a member of Congress’ alternative of bathroom amenities shouldn’t be on the prime of the record.

To the editor: So far as I’m involved, Sarah McBride, a transgender girl just lately elected to Congress, can use any girl’s restroom within the U.S. Capitol for the straightforward cause that she appears to be like like a lady. That cause could not attraction to many, nevertheless it displays the practicalities of our age.
Merely talking, nobody has a proper to make use of the toilet of their alternative. Restroom configuration and use is decided by the power supervisor, and I hope that any such individual would wish to fairly accommodate any and all who use the power.
Too many declare a proper that doesn’t exist. Bogs and sports activities groups are issues we could use however not issues now we have a authorized proper to demand. If somebody visits a residence, it’s the job of the host to supply a rest room.
Right now, few residences have communal bogs, however the idea is identical. Make do with what is obtainable.
There isn’t any necessity to sabotage society by demanding entry when alternate options can be found.

To the editor: As a cisgender mother and grandmother, I’m disgusted by the toilet invoice proposed by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), and I’m livid about Home Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) follow-up ban.
That is each vicious and petty. Focusing on an upstanding girl and valued future member of the Home is unspeakably merciless and backward. I’d moderately share a rest room any day with a transgender girl than a bully like Mace.

To the editor: Johnson mentioned, “Girls deserve ladies’s-only areas.” Mace pledged to struggle to “maintain males out of ladies’s areas.”
With this in thoughts, it appears solely logical that they need to cross a rule holding admitted p—y grabbers no less than 50 toes away from these similar protected ladies’s areas.
