"A Republican lawmaker is trying to ban trans people from using the toilets in the US Capitol Building.
Iowa congressman Steve King tabled the amendment to a vital funding bill, in a bid to force Democrats to sign off on it.
The amendment specifies that "None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to encourage, allow, or require any individual to use any bathroom other than the bathroom of the individual's biological sex.".
As the funding covers the entire legislative branch, the bill would bar trans people from using their preferred toilets in the Capitol and a number of other funded buildings."
