House Speaker Mike Johnson just said what a lot of people have been thinking: bathrooms are not battlegrounds for gender ideology. On Wednesday, Johnson announced a new policy that requires everyone in the House of Representatives to use restrooms that match their biological sex. Cue the predictable outrage from the usual suspects, but let’s face it—this shouldn’t even be controversial.
“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,” Johnson said in a statement. Seems straightforward enough, but in today’s climate, stating the obvious is a revolutionary act.
Of course, Johnson clarified that this policy doesn’t leave anyone out in the cold. Member offices have private restrooms, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol. This isn’t about discrimination—it’s about common sense.
As Johnson put it, “It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol,” he added. “Women deserve women’s only spaces.”

“Let me be unequivocally clear. A man is a man, and a woman is a woman. And a man cannot become a woman.”

The announcement coincides with Rep. Nancy Mace’s “Protecting Women’s Private Spaces Act,” which aims to codify this approach for all federal property. Mace, who’s clearly had it with the left’s obsession with redefining gender, told The Daily Wire that this bill is about protecting women and girls from being bullied into submission by activists pushing “crazy gender ideology.”
Her frustration is palpable: “Do women have rights or not?” she asked on The Michael Knowles Show. It’s a fair question. For all the talk about feminism and women’s empowerment, the left seems determined to erase the very concept of womanhood. Mace’s bill is a reminder that biology still matters, even if it’s inconvenient for a vocal minority.

Predictably, critics are already questioning how the policy will be enforced. Johnson didn’t flinch, stating that “like all House policies, it’s enforceable.” And while the idea of policing bathroom usage might make some roll their eyes, the point here isn’t enforcement—it’s about reaffirming basic boundaries that most Americans already agree with.
I asked the speaker if this would be enforceable and he said:
“Like all House policies, it’s enforceable. And we have single sex facilities for a reason, and women deserve women’s only spaces. And we are not anti anyone and we are pro-woman. I think it is an important policy for… pic.twitter.com/usCfmnhRD9

Mace is betting that this is an issue where Democrats and independents might quietly side with Republicans. She’s likely right. Poll after poll shows that most Americans aren’t on board with the left’s push to blur every line between men and women. When it comes to issues like bathroom access, sports, and private spaces, voters consistently support protections for women and girls.
The left will undoubtedly paint this as an attack on trans people, but Johnson and Mace are making it clear: this isn’t about being “anti” anyone. It’s about being pro-woman. If that’s controversial in 2024, then maybe it’s time to rethink who’s really on the wrong side of history.
