Rep. Nancy Mace, R-SC, has ignited a firestorm with her resolution that would ban “trans women”, from using the women’s bathrooms on Capitol Hill.
Democrats accuse Mace of targeting Rep. Sarah McBride, a biological man who identifies herself as a “woman.” McBride, who won the Delaware at-large district election, will join the new Congress on January 1. Mace, a rape victim, said that her resolution was about “standing against the left’s systematic erasure” of biological women.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) is introducing legislation to prohibit transgender women from using the women’s bathrooms at the U.S. Capitol.
Mace is expected Monday to file the resolution.
She said to Fox News Digital that the measure was a way of standing up for women, and against the Left’s systematic erasure.
According to a preview of the text by Fox News Digital, South Carolina Republican will introduce a bill “prohibiting Members and officers from using facilities that are not based on their biological sex and other purposes.”
This comes as Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.) is about to become the first openly-transgender member of Congress.
While Democrats claim that this is only about punishing McBride for her upcoming election, it would also apply to the other bathrooms in the building, as there would no doubt be more “trans women”, who would use the women’s restroom, than just the new Delaware representative. Mace’s response to the reports about her resolution was “Full-TERF,” which is a term that “transgender activists” use to describe those they believe are detrimental to “transgender inclusion.”
Full TERF. https://t.co/bp3le7rd2Y

Rep. Dean Phillips, the Democrat from Minnesota who ran a failed campaign to unseat Joe Biden in the Democratic primary, slammed Mace and demanded to know “what she’s scared of.”
Pathetic.
What are you scared of, Nancy? https://t.co/xPW5LPwH9j

It’s pretty clear to me what Mace, and other people in this case are “frightened of”. They’re afraid of men in their bathrooms. No matter what you think about the “transgender issue”, I believe that women have a right to control their own private space, including restrooms and locker rooms. They shouldn’t have to live in fear or adjust to a small portion of the population who demand access to things they don’t have a biological right to.
This issue is likely to be more controversial. Some Democrats have called for a softer approach to the “transgender issue”, while others are sticking with their position, insisting Republicans are still on the wrong side, both politically and morally.
It will be hard to predict whether or not this resolution passes. It would only take a few moderate Republicans voting no, because every Democrat is likely to vote in line with their party. We’ll have to wait and see.
