She’s been threatened with torture and death. She’s been harangued and harassed by transgender mentally ill people. But South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace is not backing down on her effort to ban men who identify as women from using women’s private areas in the U.S. Capitol and its associated office buildings.
The brouhaha arose after the election of Sarah McBride of Delaware to the U.S. House. McBride is a man who has chemically and surgically altered his appearance and presents himself to the world as a woman. He believes he is a woman and demands the world accept him as a woman; the commonly used term for people like him is “transgender.”
This brings up the matter of bathrooms in the Capitol, something that women are now concerned about, since McBride will insert himself into the women’s spaces.
Rep. Mace on Wednesday introduced the “Protecting Women’s Private Spaces Act” to prohibit “individuals from accessing or using single-sex facilities on federal property other than those corresponding to their biological sex.”
“Oh you thought threatening me would silence me? No. I just doubled down and filed a new bill to protect women and girls across the entire country on all federal property everywhere,” she wrote on X.
What a mess this country is in when you need to clarify the obvious. It’s all a “drag” in Washington, D.C.!
Good I’m glad to hear it. Finally somebody with normality.
What happened to “me too?” She is a rape survivor. Having privacy in a bathroom didn’t used to be controversial, but when you have survived rape, it’s pretty darned mandatory. These mentally ill men who make fun of women by “acting female” need to know that real women, no matter how catty, would not treat a rape survivor that way.
Well, it is about time.
I have long maintained that men pretending to be women is just another form of chauvinism as in “showing the girls how to be a better girl”.
It is of course a total fallacy. NO man will ever know what it is like to be a woman. You can change your physical appearance and manipulate your body chemistry, but your experiences, thinking and instincts can not and will not be changed. Men have no right to demand access to female spaces and aggressively forcing themselves into those spaces only underlines their male instincts and desires.
Apparently this is how inflation and immigration will get fixed
The sooner we get rid of this trans ridiculousness, the faster we can concentrate on those items Frank. Just remember, it is your side of the political aisle that decided to cater to these mentally ill individuals.
Anonymous trolls don’t move the needle.
My thought exactly. Spineless.
You two need whatever small comforts you can get in this time of revolutionary change. You are going to have so much to whine and complain about it will be wonderful to see you crying out.
Bleating on about “Anonymous trolls” is so small minded and petty though it fits so well with you both. You spend so much time here and it is more then a little sad as you are so unwanted. You both would not be missed at all if you never posted again.
It would be so boring if we were not here. I think many of these stories are written for our response. I think if someone has something to say, they should be proud enough to put their name on it, but if they’re too much of a chicken rat, then they should keep their mouth shut.
Why does it always have to be about you???
Do you have an opinion or are just here to stir the pot? (I think the latter is true)
Come on Greg, defend your position (if you actually have one) and quit carping about irrelevancies.
“Chicken Rats” ???? Cute!
Oh and for Frank “anonymous trolls” have move the needle in this country plenty.
Publius: Jay, Madison and Hamilton
Cato: George Clinton
Alice Addertongue; Ben Franklin
Populus: Sam Adams
etc, etc….
Got news for you Skippy. They certainly moved the needle on Nov5.
Men pretending to be women. Mental illness keeps my office very busy. Yes, I do take Medicare for the elderly trannies.
What sort of a doctor maintains an attitude of ‘first, and foremost, let’s see how much havoc I can wreak with my doctorate?’ If a person cares to ‘treat’ patients in such a disrespectful manner behind their backs, then it’s cowardice to not mention up-front just how you think of them as your client. Maybe Medicare can step in and take a look at what sort of ‘diagnostic codes’ patients are billed for.
Apparently this is how we actively protect women and girls from potentially predatory men.
Apparently this is none of your concern. Good to know.
Maybe the protection will get better when trolls start using their real names
Trantifa ‘maced’ on Capitol Hill…
I guess Representative Mace doesn’t like harassment but enjoys trolling and harassing trans people, who are far too frequently victims of actual violence by people who cheer on this sort of policy. Well played, ma’am.
I want to hear about actual cases of people “trolling and harassing trans people”. If it happens so frequently, then why aren’t we hearing about it in the media–who are on the leftists side? The rest of us want to leave them alone and only ask that they leave us alone. Now if you count us not “believing in the trans agenda” and not supporting them by agreeing with their delusions, then I guess we are harassing them. But I would only be concerned about actual violence and mistreatment which I don’t think is going on in any major way.
How is she “harassing” trans people exactly? Be specific!
Clearly YOU have no compassion for her traumatic experiences. You seem to imply that her ordeal was not actual violence and her need for privacy and safety in an intimate space doesn’t count! You think she should get over it and just let some guy use the locker/stall next to her and be quiet about. Do I have that about right?
Should we apply that same attitude towards Rep McBride, who made the choice to change his body and pretend to be a woman? Shouldn’t he just accept the consequences of his choices and use a separate bathroom? Why is it okay to you, that all the women have to bend to the narcissistic edicts of one MAN???
Go to McBride’s Twitter page and you will see thousands of comments agreeing with your comment after he issued his press release. There were very few supporting his use of women’s restrooms. Plus there is a video of him bragging about using a women’s only bathroom (I believe in North Carolina) and daring people to kick him out.
Ohhh…. poor babies…
Victims of actual violence? By who? What demographic is most likely to commit a violent act against a transgender?
Answer that question before you start making innuendos.
Wow! You comment on nearly every article here but somehow failed to read about all of the protests against trans people reading books in libraries? Or Libs of TikTok celebrating bomb threats to hospitals? Spare me the crocodile tears–the comments on here are full of bullying and hateful rhetoric. You don’t like trans people–I hear you. Just quit hiding behind your “decency” when you celebrate their harassment. The most like demographic to threaten or act violently against a trans person is white, Christian-identifying males. MAGA die hards who scream about freedom while trying to suppress others rights.
When are we going to ban church leaders, pastors, and clergy from bathrooms? They have committed far more sexual violence than trans people. Oh, wait, that statement probably just triggered your superior sensibilities.
Protests about drag queens reading books to pre-schoolers is not harassment. It is common sense. Tell me, why does a drag queen want to read a book to pre-pubescent children?
.
Curious about the demographic you cite. What is your source? Because I am seeing a LOT of places where violence (actual violence, not words.) is attributed to other transgenders, homosexuals, and johns. That is the bulk of it. Now, if you go to the LGBTQWERTY+ sites, they will not acknowledge that transgenders place themselves into high risk situations like prostitution. Gee…. do johns and pimps beat and/or kill the prostitutes at a much higher rate than those who do not sell sex?
.
And, you think that a man should be banned from a men’s bathroom/locker room because he is clergy? Am I correct in assuming you think every church leader is a pedophile? OK, but if you want to hold that stance, do not get upset when people say every transgender is a pervert.
.
Oh…and if you think bullying transgenders somehow makes it OK for transgenders to bully everyone on the planet, you are sorely mistaken.
A few more thoughts, Tired.
Perhaps if drag queens did not insist on reading to preschoolers, there would not be protests and or harassments. I do not care how you slice it, there is NOTHING about drag that is anything less than PG-13. Nothing.
Perhaps if transgenders did not insist on invading spaces where they are not welcome, the harassment will disappear. Women should not have to deal with someone wandering around with their penis on full display in a gym locker room. (And, know how I am so sure this is bullying on the part of transgenders? There has been no reports anywhere about a F2M transgender parading around naked in a locker room, or a bathroom.)
Perhaps if transgenders did not crybully everyone that does not adamantly toe the transgender line, the so-called violence would go away. (JK Rowling is the proud recipient of that transgender tolerance.)
And, maybe just maybe if transgenders actually grew up and realized the world is not in any way interested in their feelings, misgendering or using incorrect pronouns would not be an issue to anyone. But… god forbid I mistakenly call someone with three days of beard growth a ‘him’ when he is really a ‘her.’ I get to spend time in HR watching training videos about tolerance.
.
Gender dysphoria is a mental illness. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) (the reference work that defines mental illness, and where on the spectrum one lands) says so. Yes, the book psychology uses to determine if you are mentally ill says transgenders are mentally ill.
.
And, do mentally ill people often take actions that lead to harassment and potentially violence? Yep, they do.
.
Finally, unless you can demonstrate that violence against transgenders far exceeds violence against any other demographic, you have nothing.
On, and one more thing.
If the transgenders just lived their life and stopped using the “I’m offended” to crybully everyone into doing what they want, perhaps, just perhaps, harassment and actual violence might stop.
.
But, I guess you are too addicted to the power rush you get from bullying people. As your comment clearly indicated.
I agree “Tired of This”.
We are all tired of sexually confused and/or predatory men violating women and girls spaces. So many of these men are autogynophillic and get off on “passing”. Sorry but very few of us want to be used sexually like this- and we are.
It needs to end and thankfully it is.
To: Tired of This –
If you want to know what weapons the Left plans to use to destroy your civilization, look no further than those whom they repeatedly and insistently call “victims.”
The Left cares nothing about gender dysphoric people or any other “marginalized group” beyond their usefulness in gaslighting the rest of us into the type of self-censorship that makes us afraid to fight back as our systems of collective morality, objective truth, and personal liberties are erased.
Every person deserves “dignity and respect.” The demagogues will have you believe that you are denying dignity and respect to one of their “victims” if you refuse to indulge that person in behaviors that are not only self-destructive, but damaging to society as a whole. Don’t buy this ruse: it is as treacherous as it is deliberate.
Gender dysphoric people – and those who for a whole host of reasons are pretending to be – need help and deserve compassion. But they must never be given power over the institutions that keep us safe and free.
Kudos to Nancy Mace (and kudos to Mike Johnson for showing some sack, however “kickingly and screamingly” for him).
You are confused. You must be thinking of the dude with his face plastered in makeup who sent the video to Rep. Mace telling her he could not wait to bash her head in and see the blood pour out. Then there is the list of recent mass shootings all done by gender-benders.
Trans are mentally ill “its,” who infect our young people with mental disease. Transmissible through public education. Disinfect now, and save the children.
She may be right on this issue but generally speaking, Representative Mace is unstable and a narcissist. Not long ago, her entire Congressional staff quit because of her insatiable demands for media coverage. Yes, support this effort but do not count on Representative Mace to have your back.
The trans movement is mostly just another tool used by deviant pedophiles and sex predators to get access to their targets, they are very sickening and disturbed people,
Nancy Mace and Crocodile Dundee can head up the congressional committee on defining who is a man and who is a woman.
: < )
Nice one.
But, there is no need for a committee. What is a man or a woman is well defined. Or, it was until the leftists started weaponizing it.
And what would that definition be? Do you have to present a blood test? Because many folks have two parts, not just one or the other.
I am pretty sure you learned it in grade school.
.
But, valid point. No, I would not expect blood tests. However, if you are transgender, and you are actually living like the opposite sex, odds are, no one would know it unless you tell them. If a man wants to live their life as a woman, they will/should act, dress, and be, to the maximum extent, a woman. That does not include parading around naked in the woman’s locker room at the gym. Women do not even do that.
.
The problem that Nancy Mace is trying to stop is the outright demand that transgenders must be allowed to invade the private spaces of the opposite sex, and their behavior is above reproach while in there. It is the bullying from the T crowd that needs to be squashed, and squashed hard.
In other words, if I can tell from a distance that you are a male, you have no right to enter woman’s restrooms, locker rooms, or other spaces.
Define “many” Greg!
It’s really quite simple: NO DUDES WITH BOOBS OR CHICKS WITH DICKS allowed in the REAL Women’s spaces!
Sex offense stats (Britain Prison Service Data, Jan 2023):
– Among women: 3 in one million
– Among men: 395 in one million
–Among trans”women:” 1916 in one million.
Simply because trans people have the delusion of being another sex, does not mean that the rest of us have to share in their mental illness. Refuse to participate. This is the way.
You should share that with Tired of This.
They/Them/Zir/Zim, whatever seems to think the transgenders are the victims.
These so called Trannys are the ones who made themselves the issue by basicly trying to force their mental Illness upon people who don’t want to see their sickening, pathetic and weird antics played out in public. Then when they attempt to bring it all in public schools, and inside halls of government as if it’s a totally normal life style they cross all lines. They were far better keeping their deviant little secrets when they were all still in the closet. News Flash Trannys, you can make your own choices , of course, but when you think you can force your weirdness and quirkyness, and think you lifestyle will ever be considered normal behavior, Once again News Flash Trannys..ITS NEVER going to happen! just telling you some harsh realities of life!!!! Do what ever you want, just leave little kids and juveniles alone, stop forcing yourself onto the public trannys! The masses are never gonna buy what you’re selling!
Why, oh why, do folks like Ms Mace have to continually harp on issues of little relevance to what she’s supposed to be doing in Washington? When the original Constitution was written, it’s likely there were also outhouses in the area she is supposed to be representing. If she’s so concerned about her access to a washroom, have someone install a Port-A-Pottie in her office for her personal use. Toilets aren’t her real concern and we all know it and it’s funny that for an ex-military woman she’s afraid of sexual assault in our Nation’s capitol –hardly a military barracks situation with its higher index of suspicion against women soldiers. I work in a converted hospital where each room has its own toilet and sink; it doesn’t seem to take up a lot of space and each room has its own locking mechanism, and is very convenient for those days when the cat has the flute.
