Men should not be in ladies’ restrooms, according to Nancy Mace, a Republican Congresswoman. Mace has put forward a resolution to bar men who identify as “transgender women” from using the women’s restrooms in the US Capitol. According to a FOX News report, the resolution prohibits “‘Members, officers, and employees of the House from using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex, and for other purposes.’”
The measure has drawn criticism from the LGBTQ community, in part because a “transgender” man identifying as Sarah McBride, a Democrat from Delaware, prepares to join Congress in early 2025. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are now handling hostile questions from leftist reporters about the propriety of the so-called “ban.”
Though controversy ensues on the Hill, there should be no debate in “the city on a hill.” The church knows the accurate answer: Men have no business entering places where women need privacy and are at their most vulnerable. No man in his right mind or with sound morality would ever use a women’s restroom—nor play in women’s sports.
America has platformed the lie of transgenderism for far too long. The cloud of deception settled in this country some years ago as the Left pretended that biological sex is divorced from one’s “gender identity.” But the Bible knows no such division.
According to Scripture, there are only two sexes: “Male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27, ESV), meaning that your biological sex is your identity. If you were born in the body of a male, you are a man; if you were born in a female body, you are a woman.
Thankfully, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said as much in a statement on Tuesday: “Let me be unequivocally clear: A man is a man, and a woman is a woman. And a man cannot become a woman . . .”
Johnson’s “unequivocally clear” declaration is unequivocally correct and fits most Americans’ stance. Our nation’s majority does not support men in women’s spaces. Why? In God’s restraining grace, many people live according to creational reality, not in opposition to it.
Nancy Mace’s cause is sound. She and every other girl and woman deserve privacy and safety. Men should loudly say so—especially men of God.
