House Speaker \u2064Mike Johnson announced the rule that restricts\u2064 the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/christian-college-takes-biden-to-court-over-trans-mandate\/\" title=\"Christian College Takes Biden to Court Over Trans Mandate\">single-sex facilities<\/a> to individuals\u2064 whose\u2062 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cleveland-catholic-schools-ban-all-lgbtq-affiliation-and-behaviors\/\" title=\"Cleveland Catholic Schools prohibit LGBTQ+ affiliation and actions.\">biological sex aligns<\/a> with the restroom\u2019s designation. McBride emphasized that her focus will remain on advocating for the constituents\u200c of Delaware rather than engaging in disputes over bathroom access. Meanwhile, other members of\u200c Congress, such as Rep.
