Moment reporter receives brutal truth about Nancy Mace’s opposition to trans using female restrooms in Congress

Congresswoman Nancy Mace responded brazenly when asked why she doesn’t want the first transgender member of Congress to use women’s restrooms.

“If being a feminist makes me an extremist, I’m all for it,” the South Carolina Republican sharply told a reporter.

Mace added: “I am a victim of abuse myself. I am a rape survivor. I have PTSD from the abuse I suffered at the hands of a man, and 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 ladies’ room, in our locker rooms, [or] in our changing rooms.’

The question referred to a measure proposed by Mace on Monday that would require transgender people to only use the toilet that corresponds to their biological sex.

Her proposal targets trans members of Congress and staff and comes after the first openly trans candidate ever won a seat in Congress.

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride, who announced in 2012 that she is transgender, is expected to be sworn in in January 2025.

McBride is the highest-ranking openly trans elected official in American history.

Representative Nancy Mace speaks to reporters as she leaves a House Republican Caucus meeting on Capitol Hill on November 19, 2024 in Washington, DC. With Rep.-elect Sarah McBride set to join the House of Representatives as the first openly transgender member of Congress, Mace has introduced a resolution to ban transgender women from using female bathrooms in the Capitol.

Mace, a rape survivor who has PTSD from her attack, told the reporter that her proposal is directly related to McBride’s arrival on Capitol Hill.

She believes her proposal will help protect women.

“I’m not going to stand up for a man, you know, someone with a penis, sitting in the women’s locker room,” she said curtly. “That’s not okay.”

Mace’s announcement comes just hours after rioter Marjorie Taylor Greene caused drama by repeatedly and purposefully calling McBride a “man.”

Speaking to reporters on the steps of the Capitol on Monday evening, the Georgia Republican gave his full support to Mace’s proposal.

‘He’s a man. He is a biological male, so he is not allowed to use our women’s restrooms, our women’s gyms, our locker rooms, or our women’s designated areas,” Green said.

“He’s a biological male,” she said again. “He’s got plenty of places he can go.”

Greene has even rejected the idea of ​​gender-neutral bathrooms in Congress.

“No,” she said against the idea, adding, “He can go to the men’s room and he has a bathroom in his office just like all of us.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., told reporters Monday that she does not want McBride to be able to use the women’s restrooms on Capitol Hill, calling it an invasion of women’s spaces if the elected trans representative chooses to use the women’s restrooms. room

“I use the restroom in my office most of the time,” Greene reasoned. “He has a bathroom that will be for him.”

Mace’s proposal would ban members and staff of the House of Representatives from “using same-sex facilities other than those that correspond to their biological sex.”

Greene even proposed expanding the trans-toilet measure to “all taxpayer-funded facilities.”

Speaker Mike Johnson told the Republican conference at large on Tuesday that Mace’s proposal will be included in an upcoming legislative package.

Coming out of the private meeting, Greene confirmed Johnson’s approval of the measure.

“He said no biological males will use our restrooms,” Greene said.

The proposal would require the sergeant to enforce the measure.

However, it is unclear how the gun control sergeant will monitor and enforce this proposal.

The trans bathroom debacle on Capitol Hill is just the latest in a larger culture war being waged by Republicans over the normalization of transgender policy.

Donald Trump repeatedly talked about ridding schools of “critical race theory and transgender madness” during his campaign for president.

He also promised crowds across the country to “keep men out of women’s sports.”

It was also reported that Greene told her colleagues during the private meeting that she would initiate a “physical confrontation” if she encountered a biological male in the women’s restroom.

That means McBride will likely be forced to use the men’s restrooms on Capitol Hill in January.

The vote on the package containing the trans bathroom measure is expected to take place later this week.

When asked Tuesday whether McBride is a man or a woman, Speaker Johnson demurred, saying, “Um, look, I’m not going to get into this.”
