Summary
Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina to introduce a measure banning transgender women from using women’s bathrooms in the U.S. Capitol.
The move comes just two weeks after Democrat Sarah McBride became the first openly transgender person elected to Congress.
Mace characterized the measure as an attempt to protect women’s rights, but Democrats criticized it as a distraction from pressing policy issues.
only people who support this bs would be shocked about it coming from some cunt in SC
Hey, can we not use misogynistic phrasing to defend trans women? I feel and appreciate where you are coming from and she is an awful person for doing this. But at best stuff like that is hypocritical since your using bigoted language to fight bigotrry and at worst legitimizes TERF talking points that “trans people and allies hate cis women”.
Just like when a trans person does something shitty it’s not a free pass to misgender them or when a PoC is shitty that’s not a pass to use racist language or woman is shitty thats not a pass for sexist rhetoric.
Sorry, I don’t like to tone police but as a trans women myself, this sort of thing really bothers me.
I do apologize, I don’t love putting more vitriol and negativity out there in the world I’m just fed up. There’s no great defense and it’s something I’m trying to work on. I appreciate your insight
I appreciate you hearing me out. None of us are born perfect so everyday we get to learn how to be better… together! You go have a wonderful day! ♥️
I know from personal experience that it’s easy for anger to override your better judgement. It’s hard to overcome, but it can be done, and it’s well worth it. I appreciate that you’re making the effort!
As a cis woman myself I hate and despise her. I sent my Congressman a message saying if certain members of Congress are overly concerned with what’s in the underwear of the person in the next stall, they could be given a single-unit bathroom of their own, labeled “Bigots.” The rest of the bathrooms in the Capitol building should all be gender neutral and all-stall/urinal-free, with sufficient privacy in the stall design so that people of all parties and genders could equally benefit from camaraderie and networking in the handwashing areas. Not to mention equal time waiting in line. That’s what a real feminist would be asking for in the first place. She’s just an asshole. Having the single Bigot Bathroom might also help save Democracy because of the GOP members waiting for their turn, missing votes.
