Summary
During a House Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) repeatedly shouted an anti-trans slur despite objections from Democratic Rep. Gerald Connolly.
She defended her remarks by attacking transgender rights and dismissing criticism.
The outburst drew condemnation from LGBTQ+ advocates and political figures, highlighting her shift from previously supporting LGBTQ+ rights to embracing anti-trans rhetoric.
Mace has used the slur in past statements and introduced legislation restricting transgender rights.
Oooh, nicely put.
Before your comment, I was thinking, “why not show the word? What word could it be? I’m a big boy and it won’t hurt me,” but … after your comment I think I get it.
I may have to take this away and think on it, and thank you for the catalyst.
Fuck yeah. Personal growth for the win.
