Sarah McBride, the first out transgender member of Congress who won her election just weeks ago, posted a statement on social media, several hours before Republican House speaker Mike Johnson announced that transgender women are not permitted to use women’s bathrooms in the Capitol building.

In the post, which features a photo of McBride in a bathroom, McBride says “Here, I am using a women’s restroom in North Carolina that I’m technically barred from being in.”

The statement continues:

They say I’m a pervert They say I’m a man dressed as a woman. They say I’m a threat to their children. They say I’m confused, They say l’m dangerous

We’re all just people trying to pee in peace.
