Quote:Johnson announced the policy in a public statement today that said “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... Women deserve women’s only spaces."

“For anyone who doesn’t know my established record on this issue, let me be unequivocally clear: a man is a man, and a woman is a woman, and a man cannot become a woman.”
“That said, I also believe that’s what scripture teaches, what I just said, but I also believe we treat everybody with dignity. We can do and believe all those things at the same time,” he continued.
The quotes provided by the article indicate that Mike Johnson proposed this bill to prevent men from harming women.
It is not a violation of church and state - the "law" (?) I presume found to be violated - to acknowledge that a bill intended to protect women also falls in line with the Biblical and historical view of male and female being two distinct categories.
