NORAH O’DONNELL: House Speaker Mike Johnson announced a new rule on Capitol Hill. If transgender men and women are going to use single-sex bathrooms or locker rooms, they must use the one that is reserved for, as he said, their biological sex. CBS's Scott MacFarlane reports from The Hill.
SCOTT MACFARLANE: U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson today took aim at Democrat Sarah McBride, the first ever transgender member elected to Congress. With his decision to bar transgender people from using those Capitol complex bathrooms that do not align with their sex assigned at birth.
MIKE JOHNSON: We have single-sex facilities for a reason.
MACFARLANE: McBride said today she did not come to Washington to fight about bathrooms. South Carolina Republican Nancy Mace has led the charge to bar McBride from women’s rooms here and does not acknowledge McBride is a woman.
NANCY MACE: We have rights as women and we have the right not to be bombarded by men in our restrooms.
