South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace has introduced legislation prohibiting transgender “women” from using female-only facilities on federal property.
The Republican said she brought the bill to Congress to protect women’s rights, adding “I know how vulnerable women and girls are in private spaces, so I’m absolutely, 100 percent, going to stand in the way of any man who wants to be in a women’s restroom, in our locker rooms, in our changing rooms, I will be there fighting you every step of the way.”
Mace added that the election of Sarah McBride, the transgender woman picked to serve Delaware in the House earlier this month, was “absolutely and then some” the reason for introducing the bill.
McBride has responded to the proposed bill by trying to avoid escalating the controversy, arguing that Congress “should be focused on bringing down the cost of housing, health care, and childcare, not manufacturing culture wars.”
McBride also deleted a social media post of him in a random women’s room in North Carolina, which was getting shared after the Mace bathroom saga kicked off.
Mace has been steadfast in pushing back on the gender insanity.
In an exchange that went viral, Mace told an ABC reporter trying to corner her “I’m not going to allow biological men into women’s private spaces. I will stand in the brink and in the way of anyone on the radical left who thinks it’s okay for a penis to be in a woman’s locker room or a bathroom or a changing room. Hell no. I’m not gonna stand for it and the speaker said it will be in the House Rules package. If it’s not, I’ll be ready with a privileged motion to force a vote on this. This is not okay. I’m a survivor of rape, I’m a survivor of sexual abuse, and I’m not gonna allow a man in any female private spaces. Period, end of story.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson refrained from commenting on his plan to vote on the bill, noting that each lawmaker’s office has a private restroom with unisex restrooms available across the Capitol. However, he did declare that single-sex facilities were “reserved for individuals of that biological sex.”
Mace received support from commenters on social media.
In response to a clip where a progressive activist placed the trans flag on a wall in Congress, some questioned whether the ink had been funded using federal money.
