Marjorie Taylor Greene has never minced her words, and her recent comments are no exception.
According to a report from Politico, the firebrand Georgia Congresswoman said she would fight any transgender woman attempting to use the woman’s bathroom in the Capitol building.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in a private House GOP conference meeting indicated she’d fight a transgender woman if she tried to use a woman’s bathroom on the House side of the Capitol, according to two people in the room, as Congress’ first openly transgender lawmaker is set to assume office in January.
Greene, when asked about the comments after the meeting, didn’t explicitly confirm the remarks but said she “shouldn’t have to.”
“It’s pretty aggressive for biological men to be invading our spaces,” Greene said.
Separately, she said that Speaker Mike Johnson has backed her up on the point that “biological men” shouldn’t be using women’s bathrooms.
Greene’s comments come ahead of the swearing in of Sarah McBride, a Delaware State Senator who election to the House of Representatives representing her state’s only Congressional district.

In a video posted on the X platform, Greene also makes clear that she will not be referring to McBride as a woman, instead referring to him as a male using “he/him” pronouns.

As well as the election of McBride, the debate over transgender bathrooms in Congress has grown over the past week after South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace introduced a resolution barring biological men from using the building’s female bathrooms.
Mace’s resolution would focus on “prohibiting members, officers, and employees of the House from using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex, and for other purposes.”
“Whereas allowing biological males into single-sex facilities, such as restrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms designed for women, jeopardizes the safety and dignity of Members, officers, and employees of the House who are female,” it continues.

When asked by reporters whether her legislation was singling out the incoming transgender member of Congress, Mace said that it was about women as a whole.
“Sarah McBride doesn’t get a say in this,” she said. “This is a biological man trying to force himself into women’s spaces, and I’m not going to tolerate it.”
