Tel-Chai Nation

Congress house speaker Mike Johnson may have taken a firm stance in Israel's favor, but when it comes to the issue of transsexuality, and a Democrat member regrettably going by such identity politics, Johnson initially didn't take the firm position the conservative movement would doubtless appreciate he take right from the start. It was only shortly afterwards that he did:

House Speaker Mike Johnson can’t tell the difference between a man and a woman. Or can he? We’ve gotten quite the whiplash in the last 24 hours.

First, the Speaker came out with the most mealy-mouthed non-answer possible regarding a question about his new transgender colleague, Democratic Representative-elect Sarah McBride.

Whose actual name is Tim, IIRC. The op-ed continues:

“Is freshman-elect Sarah McBride a man or a woman?” asked a reporter Tuesday afternoon.

“Look, I’m not going to get into this,” Johnson diplomatically responded. “We treat all persons with dignity and respect and we will. I’m not going to engage in silly debates about this,” he continued.

He then went on to address the “concern about uses of restroom facilities and locker rooms.” Sure, Congress will work in a “deliberate fashion” to reach “member consensus” and “accommodate the needs of every single person” — but that still didn’t answer whether he’d support Rep. Nancy Mace’s proposal to make Congressional bathrooms strictly sex-based.

But that lasted all of a few hours before the Speaker came right back out to the podium to walk back his embarrassing non-answer. “Let me be unequivocally clear. A man is a man and a woman is a woman. And a man cannot become a woman,” he reiterated to a gaggle of reporters.

Better, but still somewhat tepid.

By Wednesday afternoon, Johnson finally announced that Congress would adopt Mace’s proposed rule. “All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings (like restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms) are reserved for individuals of that biological sex,” he said in a statement.

This is the bare minimum we should expect from one of the top leaders of a political party that makes rejecting this gender nonsense a core plank of its platform. The real question is: why couldn’t he do it the first time?

See, this is the kind of cowardice conservatives have to show they have the courage to overcome. Answering in such a mealy-mouthed manner as Johnson first did is not going to put a stop to the LGBT disaster that's long taken hold and become a sad staple over the past decade or so. Johnson's initial answer also did a terrible disfavor to Nancy Mace, who worked hard to ensure no abuse of women would take hold at the political level. The Democrat disgrace from Delaware did finally agree to avoid women's bathrooms, but it's clear he's unrepentant about his lifestyle conduct, and something tells me he wouldn't use bathrooms frequented by Muslim women regardless. A most serious issue to consider in all this affair is that, as noted in the article about McBride's eventual agreement to avoid troublemaking:

Mace, who became a rape victim at the of age 16, stated Tuesday she still suffers from PTSD from the traumatic incident while pointing to the vulnerability of women and girls.

“I’m not going to stand for a man, you know, someone with a penis is in the women’s locker room. That’s not okay,” Mace told reporters. “I’m a victim of abuse myself. I’m a rape survivor. I have PTSD from the abuse I’ve suffered at the hands of a man and I know how vulnerable women and girls are in private spaces.”

The bathroom issue garnered national attention in 2021 after a biological male wearing a skirt raped a female in a woman’s bathroom at a public school located in Loudoun County, Virginia. The school kept the incident a secret from the school community.

What the disgraceful McBride's doing is disrespectful to women's honor and dignity. It's something Ruthie Blum spoke about over a decade ago, and I hope she herself recognizes why an issue like this is also very grave. Mace is doing the right thing to work on these legal issues, and it's but a step needed to put a stop to the abuse that's become a terrible staple worldwide too.
