OCTAVIO PULIDO: Well, and on other topics, Democrat Sarah McBride, representative of Delaware, is the first transgender congresswoman to arrive at the Capitol. But she will not be able to use the women's bathroom, since on the other side, Republican Nancy Mace, of South Carolina, has introduced an ordinance that would prohibit transgender women from using facilities on federal property such as bathrooms and locker rooms that do not correspond to the sex that they were assigned at birth. It's a position shared by Speaker Mike Johnson. In fact, he has already issued a new policy that stipulates this.
NICOLE SUAREZ: And we are joined now by Mónica Trasandes, Executive Director of Representation and Hispanic media at GLAAD. Thank you for being here with us. First of all, what is your reaction to this rule?
MONICA TRANSANDES: I find it incredibly disrespectful. Incredible that our Congress is focusing on this, instead of all the problems we have in this country, they are focusing on this. She is an elected member of Congress, chosen to represent her state and deserves the respect of her colleagues. So, that's my personal reaction. And GLAAD's too. Incredible that this is what they are focusing on.
