Transgender activists took over at least one women’s bathroom Thursday on Capitol Hill.

Law enforcement arrested approximately 15 demonstrators protesting against Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson’s recent ban on biological men entering bathrooms and facilities of the female sex, according to Axios.

Video shows a crowd of protesters clog a hall near a women’s bathroom while holding signs. This took place in the Cannon House Office Building close to Johnson’s office. One sign read, “Congress Stop Pissing on Our Rights!”

Johnson’s bathroom ban issued to protect women’s spaces from infiltrating males came after Republican South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace raised the issue by introducing a bill before Democratic Delaware Representative-elect Sarah McBride — the first ever representative to identify as transgender — is sworn in.

The activist group echoed chants of “Speaker Johnson, Nancy Mace,” “our bodies are not debate” and “our genders are not debate.”

Chelsea Manning was among the pro-transgender activists occupying the women’s bathroom, according to Axios. It is unknown whether authorities took Manning into custody.

Democrats were not off the hook when it came to the issue as protesters chanted, “Democrats, grow a spine! Trans rights are on the line.”

A transgender activist posted a video on social media while appearing to use the women’s bathroom. “Meeting in the ladies room at the US Capital,” TikTok user RealTayChaTLC wrote in the caption to the video.

“I’m coming in the ladies room to shake the dew off my lily. I’m gonna shake the dew off my lily. I’m gonna pop a squat. I swear, nothing bad’s gonna happen. I’m just going pee,” the user said on camera, shutting the stall door and sitting down. “So I’m sitting in the toilet, and I’m going pee. I know this is newsworthy. I don’t know why. But I just wanted to let you know that everything’s coming out okay. And I hope you have a really nice day.”

The women’s bathroom blockage was organized by the Gender Liberation Movement, which issued a statement saying the protest “sets an example of the righteous defiance and solidarity needed under a second Trump administration.“

“Everyone deserves to use the restroom without fear of discrimination or violence. Trans folks are no different. We deserve dignity and respect and we will fight until we get it,” GLM co-founder Raquel Willis said.

Mace delivered a “special message” — megaphone in hand — to demonstrators in a video posted on X after the arrests were made.

“So, some tranny protesters showed up at the Capitol today to protest my bathroom bill. But they got arrested — poor things. So, I have a message for the protesters who got arrested. You ready?” the congresswoman said, raising her megaphone.

“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law,” Mace spoke into the megaphone. “You have the right to speak to an attorney [and have an attorney] present during any question. If you cannot afford an attorney — I doubt many of you can — one will be provided to you at the government’s expense.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
