Trans Activists Arrested in Capitol Hill Bathroom Protest

Around 15 trans rights activists, including Chelsea Manning, were arrested during a protest against a new bathroom policy by House Speaker Mike Johnson, which restricts transgender and nonbinary individuals from using facilities that align with their gender identity in Capitol Hill. The protest, organized by the Gender Liberation Movement, highlighted opposition to the policy, which has been criticized by human rights groups and some Democratic lawmakers. The protest coincided with broader national debates on transgender rights, including a Supreme Court case on gender-affirming care for minors.
