Congresswoman Nancy Mace Receives Death Threats After Introducing Resolution Banning Men From Women’s Bathrooms In The US Capitol

Nancy Mace

So much for the party of tolerance... Obviously one of the hot-button political issues over the past few years has been the issue of allowing transgender women (biological men) in women's restrooms and sports. The debate surrounding sports intensified back in 2021, when one of the top collegiate women’s swimmers was a biological male named Lia Thomas, who had transitioned to female after previously competing on the men’s swim team at Penn. University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines became an outspoken critic of the NCAA for allowing a biological male to compete against women, and received a fair amount of criticism for her position. Of course in this day and age if you take the common sense position that men shouldn’t be competing in women’s sports you’re labeled “transphobic” or a bigot, but that’s just where we are these days. And that's what Congresswoman Nancy Mace is facing right now for her position that biological men shouldn't be in women's restrooms. The Congresswoman from South Carolina recently introduced a resolution to keep biological men from using the women's restrooms at the US Capitol, after the election of Sarah McBride from Delaware to the House of Representatives. McBride, who was born Tim McBride, is openly transgender after coming out in 2012, and became the first openly transgender member of Congress after the election earlier this month. And Mace has made clear that her resolution surrounding men in the women's bathrooms at the Capitol is in response to McBride's election: https://twitter.com/NancyMace/status/1858698333113418061 But naturally, the issue has drawn a heated response from the other side - including death threats directed at the Congresswoman from some clearly unstable folks: https://twitter.com/NancyMace/status/1858950872639705562 https://twitter.com/NancyMace/status/1858968488964223326 https://twitter.com/NancyMace/status/1858971760429068773 There are even some of Mace's colleagues who have spoken out against her, including Rep. Dean Phillips, a Democrat from Minnesota, who called her "pathetic." https://twitter.com/deanbphillips/status/1858667281972125756 But Mace is standing firm on her position, telling ABC that she doesn't believe her resolution goes far enough and citing her experience as a survivor of rape and sexual abuse for her willingness to speak out on the issue: "I'm not going to allow biological men into women's private spaces. I will stand in the brink and stand in the way of anyone on the radical left who thinks that it's okay for a penis to be in a women's locker room or a bathroom or a changing room. Hell no, I'm not going to stand for it... This is not okay. I'm a survivor of rape, I'm a survivor of sexual abuse, and I'm not going to allow any man into any female private spaces." And she has the backing of her party leadership, after Speaker of the House Mike Johnson made clear that McBride will not be permitted to use the women's restroom in the House: https://twitter.com/BehizyTweets/status/1858950486222581824 Seems like that settles it. Oh, and if you're not familiar with Nancy Mace already, here's one of my favorite moments from the Congresswoman, when she spoke at a prayer breakfast and told the crowd that she had to turn down morning sex with her boyfriend to be there: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tFLgO6HdmTE
