Today, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson announced a policy change regarding single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House office buildings. These facilities will now be reserved exclusively "for individuals of that biological sex," ensuring that women will not have to share their private spaces with men on Capitol grounds.

The American Principles Project (APP) expressed support for this decision. The organization sent a memo to Republican congressional offices highlighting voter support for maintaining female-only spaces.

Terry Schilling, President of APP, issued a statement commending Speaker Johnson's action:

"Men do not belong in the women’s restroom. It’s unbelievable that this even needs to be stated. But thanks to the Democrats’ far-left culture war, women’s private spaces across the country have been opened up to men. This has led to predictably horrific consequences, such as the recent case in Loudoun County, Virginia, where a high school girl was assaulted by a male student in her school’s bathroom. Incredibly, however, Democrats have only doubled down on their insane stance in the aftermath of such incidents."

Schilling further emphasized: "Fortunately, Republican leaders are standing up on behalf of the rights of women and girls and against the far left’s radical agenda. We thank Speaker Johnson for acting to protect the privacy and safety of women’s spaces in the U.S. Capitol, and we encourage political leaders nationwide to make this a priority."
