— Theodore Kahn, a visitor to Virginia’s State Capitol sporting whiskers and a buzz cut, asked where he could go to the bathroom. The exchange capped an hour-long news conference that the Prince William County Republican held to rally support for his bill to regulate transgender people’s use of restrooms in schools and other government buildings. Instead, he was trying to put pressure on fellow Republicans who, looking to avoid controversy, might be inclined to quietly kill the bill. “Obviously people who are transgender use the bathroom,” Marshall said. “I walked right out of the room and used the men’s room,” he said, “and nobody cared.”Fenit Nirappil contributed to this report.
