Summary
Rep. Nancy Mace, once supportive of LGBTQ rights, has shifted toward anti-transgender rhetoric, including sponsoring a Capitol bathroom ban targeting transgender women, such as Rep.-elect Sarah McBride.
Mace has cited personal safety concerns and her experience as a rape survivor to justify the ban, which critics argue is rooted in discrimination.
Protesters against the legislation led Mace to use a slur in response, sparking further controversy.
Previously, Mace supported LGBTQ rights and socially transitioning minors, but her recent actions reflect a sharp pivot amidst rising anti-LGBTQ sentiment in politics.
Mace is a lying piece of shit who claimed she was “assaulted” when someone shook her hand, and then wore a sling to trick people into thinking she was injured.
