That definitely happens a lot with Democratic politicians, but I don't think that's what happened here. Because this is specifically targeted at the Capitol and House office buildings and will likely only affect McBride, backing down here is a purely symbolic retreat. It's not like she's backing down from fighting for trans rights as a whole (at least, I don't expect that she will).
