At the very least, the speaker's office does, I believe, have a chair behind the desk and if a trans congresswoman can't go to the bathroom, I'm guessing it's easy access.
It's so stupid for a country as wealthy as America though ... why don't they just have 50 private bathrooms that anyone can use of any gender or identity one at a time in private. For politicians as wealthy as these idiots, it's a joke to think that they would prefer communal toilets like common people use.
You're solving a very different problem. You're addressing how to make restrooms better for all members of Congress.
The bill in question is about how to publicly hurt a minority group, in order to galvanize their supporters.
I don't get it either. I really don't care who is in a bathroom with me anyway. I don't go in there to make friends. I don't even know what they think she's going to do in there.
I'm completely open and accepting of anyone of any identity. I'd enter and use a public bathroom with anyone as long as we were all safe.
But if I had the choice or the wealth, I would much rather prefer to just go to the toilet alone with no one else around of any gender, identity, religion, race, age, colour, species, terrestrial or extraterrestrial. I really don't like doing those things around other people.
If I had that much wealth and control, I'd want to pee or poop in peace and never sit or stand next to anyone while I was doing my business.
Really, I don't see a reason why stalls couldn't be more like walled cubicles that would ensure total privacy.
