My first act of resistance

I wrote a letter to my represrentative

Today, for the first time, I felt there was something I can do, even living in a blue state. I wrote my Representative, Bill Keating, concerning the restrictions placed on the incoming representative from Delaware, Sarah McBride. This is an issue all the Democrats should be speaking out on. (Hear that Seth Moulton?). Here is what I wrote.

Dear Mr. Keating:

I am beyond distressed that the first ever trans representative in Congress, Ms. Sarah McBride, may not use a public restroom in the Capitol Building. Moreover, the ban extends to staffers who may not have access private facilities. When do you plan to speak out on this issue? Will you join with other representatives to defend Ms. McBride? And where will this end? Will Speaker Johnson demand that she wear men's clothing and insist on calling her Mr. rather than Madam? Will you speak out against extending this ban to all federal facilities, so that gender non-conforming people will have no safe place to go if, for example, they are at a national monument or park? Ms. McBride's consituents elected her "as is". Neither the Speaker nor other representatives have the right to second guess them.

Sincerely yours,

Anne F. Sterling
