Joy Behar said she doesn’t understand why bathrooms everywhere are not open to “all genders” amid a discussion about incoming trans-identifying male Congressmen Sarah McBride.
On “The View” on Friday, Behar and her cohosts were discussing Rep. Nancy Mace’s (R-SC) bill to keep McBride, who will represent Delaware in the House next year, from using the women’s bathrooms at the Capitol.
“We have bathrooms here in this building, it just says ‘all genders,’” Behar explained. “Why can’t they just do that everywhere?”
Her cohost Ana Navarro suggested McBride could use the bathroom of every person in Congress who is “not a bigot.”
The View calls fort ALL BATHROOMS EVERYWHERE to be open to “all genders.”

The comments came after Mace provided details of what has since been labeled the “Protecting Women’s Private Spaces Act,” exclusively to The Daily Wire this week. She said it will ban “members, officers, and employees of the House from using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex, and for other purposes.” It also forbids anyone from accessing facilities on federal property that do not correspond with their biological sex, and it provides precise definitions of what it means to be female or male, as previously reported.
“I’m going to do everything I can to protect women and girls here on the hill, but also across the nation,” she said on “The Michael Knowles Show,” where she first unveiled the bill. “This is a question that needs to be answered. Do women have rights or not? Are we going to allow these men to bully us into submission? And I say, no, no more. I’m done with this.”

“There’s no amount of bullying and threats on my life that they’ve made this week that’s going to stop me from this,” she added, promising to “fight like hell” for the protection of women and girls.
Speaker Mike Johnson has signaled support for the act and said in a statement, “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.”
“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.”
McBride later released a statement that he will abide by Johnson’s Wednesday directive that “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.”
