Congresswoman Sarah McBride spoke about women’s rights at a 14 February panel hosted by Hillary Clinton at the Munich Security Conference, and warned listeners about the adverse affects of gender-policing on not just trans women, but all women.

McBride, who is trans, recounted a confrontation that occurred January 2025 in the US Capitol women’s bathroom between Republican Representatives Lauren Boebert, Nancy Mace, and a freshman colleague of Sarah’s who was inside using the restroom.

Mace, believing McBride’s colleague was McBride herself, confronted her and told her “You shouldn't be here," before getting additional colleagues for reinforcement.

“First of all, they're so bad at gender policing that they can't police the one bathroom off the floor of the House of Representatives with one single trans person in Congress,” McBride said at the Munich conference.

“But these are deeply unserious efforts that have very serious consequences. Because if you don't walk woman enough, if you don't talk woman enough, if you don't act woman enough, hell, if you have shoulder length hair and glasses, they tell you that you don't belong,” she warned.
