Nancy Mace’s shameless exploitation of America’s first transgender congresswoman

I realize that South Carolina Republican U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace is an attention-hungry partisan, trying to make a name for herself as a culture warrior by demonizing the first transgender woman to be elected to Congress.

And I understand that giving Mace’s proposal to ban transgender women from women’s bathrooms in the Capitol any oxygen is probably just what she wants.

But I also don’t think it’s wise to allow her fear-mongering and demonizing to go unanswered.

Earlier this month, voters in the state of Delaware did something momentous: They elected Democrat Sarah McBride, a transgender woman, to the House of Representatives. At 34, McBride, a member of the Delaware state Senate since 2021 and a former spokesperson for the national Human Rights Campaign, will be one of the youngest members in Congress. Focusing on healthcare, reproductive rights and economic issues, she beat her Republican opponent by a hefty 16 percentage points.

Since then, Mace and her colleague Georgia Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene have been waging a petty war against McBride, aided and abetted by House Speaker Mike Johnson, who announced Wednesday that transgender people in the Capitol and House office buildings will be allowed to use only those bathrooms that correspond to the gender they were assigned at birth.

Also on Wednesday, Mace introduced a resolution that would ban trans women from using women’s bathrooms and locker rooms in federal buildings. Never mind that trans women have been using women’s bathrooms on Capitol Hill and in the White House and Pentagon for years without issues, according to writer and trans activist Charlotte Clymer.

“I have PTSD from the sexual abuse I have suffered at the hands of a man,” Mace told Scripps News...

They are so pissed that this will go to a floor vote and rats will have to take a position on men in women’s bathrooms.

Cue up campaign commercials two years from now.

[ModelBreaker]

Yes. Gender is not assigned at birth. It is observed and recorded at birth.

Robin Abcarian, the author of this piece, apparently advocated for violence against homeless people:

No such thing as “transgender”.
It is a mental disorder.
Klinger pulled that crap to get a section 8 in Korea!
Bruce Gender is just a guy with boobs pretending to be a 40 YO woman. He has to be getting close to 80...
Just because some people have a fantasy that they are the opposite sex, does not obligate the rest of us to play along.

Robin Abcarian you are a sick person. Get help.

[ridesthemiles]

DO NOT KNOW IF “ROBIN” IS MALE OR FEMALE.

I WILL NOT SHARE A BATHROOM WITH A MAN I DO NOT KNOW WELL

[ridesthemiles]

FIRST, THEY SENT A MENTALLY ILL MAN TO THE OVAL OFFICE

[odawg]

That means the voters in Delaware are just plain stupid.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Oh the wailing and gnashing of teeth! 😏

[Michigan Bowhunter]

man, oh man, oh mannnnnn

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Nancy Mace should demand that the Sergeant-at-arms inspect Tim McBride and confirm if its
junk has been removed or not. If the junk is still there, the Sergeant-at-arms shall remove it.

But I also don’t think it’s wise to allow her fear-mongering and demonizing to go unanswered.

Unanswered, the author says.

And just what would the answer be.

Every pervert has the right to have their particular perversion respected by normal decent folk?

[Gaffer]

It’s ‘petty’ to demand that you should have privacy and feel - safe in a bathroom - essentially, shouldn’t have to suffer the ICK/EWW problem.

Mace and Green didn’t ‘start’ this. It was the resolution introduced by this creep. Delaware has ONE representative, and they choose to use it for this? Screw you.

AFAIC, Mace and Green are right on target AND this election just held shows us that we don’t have to cow-tow to this nonsense anymore. Screw your trans.

The LA Slimes is the same as the NY Slimes.
These demented freaks aren’t men. They are
Drag queens. The Convress shouldn’t be a drag queen show.
Shop all these people off to an island somewhere that has no trees to build a raft and lots of crocodiles and hungry sharks.
Nancy Mace is a heroine. The author of this piece looks like a trans itself.

What resolution did he introduce?

[Gaffer]

It didn’t actually get to the formal resolution stage because he hasn’t been seated ye, but that’s where it was headed. ‘Her’ first big initiative?

Fetterman said she/he/it can use HIS bathroom!

[Kudsman]

Well, they are both Stand Up gentlemen then. Problem solved.

[Kathy in OC]

Oh, I thought you were saying that McBride introduced a bill relating to bathroom use? The article doesn’t say that.
