Transgender women are 'every bit as 'biologically female' as cis women,' bisexual, trans state lawmaker claims

Montana state Rep. Zooey Zephyr - a Democrat who identifies as a "progressive, bisexual trans woman" - claimed that transgender women are "every bit as 'biologically female' as cis women."

"I literally just got out of meetings with members of Congress & used the bathroom on my way out. Trans women are women-full stop," Zephyr declared in a post on X. 

"We're every bit as "biologically female" as cis women & @SpeakerJohnson's statement doesn't change the fact that women's spaces include trans women," Zephyr added.

Fox News Digital attempted to reach out to Zephyr for comment on Thursday.

"All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings - such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms - are reserved for individuals of that biological sex," he said in the statement.

"It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol," Johnson added. "Women deserve women's only spaces."

"I'm not here to fight about bathrooms. I'm here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down costs facing families. Like all members, I will follow the rules as outlined by Speaker Johnson, even if I disagree with them," McBride said in a statement.

Mace had proposed a resolution to prohibit House members and others from frequenting single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House office buildings that do not align with their biological sex.

"A Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House may not use a single-sex facility (including a restroom, changing room, or locker room) in the Capitol or House Office Buildings, other than those corresponding to the biological sex of such individual," the text of her resolution read, noting that the House sergeant-at-arms would be tasked with enforcement.

"A man is a man. And a woman is a woman. And a man cannot become a woman," Johnson declared. "But I also believe that we treat everybody with dignity."

Mace, who has declared on X that a "trans woman is still a man," has announced a bill that would stipulate that people may only enter single-sex facilities on federal property that match their biological sex.

The proposal provides exceptions for medical workers responding to an emergency and for law enforcement officers chasing a suspect or conducting an investigation.

"Oh you thought threatening me would silence me? No. I just doubled down and filed a new bill to protect women and girls across the entire country on all federal property everywhere," Mace declared in a post on X.
