“On agreeing to the Mace amendment (A013) Agreed to by recorded vote: 219 - 209 (Roll no. 249).”
This amendment bans individuals on military bases from using single-sex facilities, such as bathrooms or locker rooms, that do not match their biological sex at birth. It would set a uniform policy for all U.S. military installations regarding who can access these spaces.
This would create a mandatory, military-wide policy regarding gender and facility use, overriding any existing local or departmental policies that might allow access based on gender identity.
Service members, civilian Department of Defense employees, and visitors to military bases are most directly affected, particularly transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals.
