Rep. Nancy Mace has tweeted or reposted more than 25 times about a piece of legislation she has introduced in the House of Representatives.
The Republican congresswoman from South Carolina even pinned the resolution to the top of her official X account.
It reads:
“PROHIBITION.—A Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House may not use a single-sex facility (including a restroom, changing room, or locker room) in the Capitol or House Office Buildings, other than those corresponding to the biological sex of such individual.”

Mace’s legislation said the House’s sergeant-at-arms will be charged with enforcing the prohibition.
The proposed bill, which was introduced Monday, appears to target one incoming member of Congress: Rep.-elect Sarah McBride, D-Delaware, according to reporting by CBS News.
McBride will be the first openly transgender person elected to Congress after winnig the House seat two weeks ago.
Mace said “absolutely” when asked by reporters if the legislation was in response to McBride’s election, NBC News reported.
“I’m absolutely 100% gonna stand in the way of any man who wants to be in a women’s restroom, in our locker rooms, in our changing rooms,” she was reported as saying. “I will be there fighting you every step of the way.”
On X, McBride wrote that the legislation was a “blatant attempt from far fight-wing extremists to distract from the facte that they have no real solutions to what Americans are facing. We should be focused on bringing down the cost of housing, health care, and child care, not manufacturing culture wars.”
Of course, the comments on McBride’s tweet only highlighted the cruelty of the MAGA movement, calling her “a mentally ill MAN” and a “pervert.”
In a statement about the bill, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene — “Empty Greene” — repeatedly misgendered McBride, saying, “He’s a man, a biological male. … The new member of Congress that was voted in the Congress on behalf of his district in Delaware needs to respect my space, my privacy, and other women’s space and privacy, because he is not a woman.”
Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Democrat, came to McBride’s defense, calling Mace’s actions “hateful,” “dangerous” and “unnecessary.”
“Trans people represent one half of one percent of Americans,” she posted on X. “Mind your own damn business and let them be.”
Maybe Mace, if she is truly concerned about the safety of women, should turn her sights on the adjudicated rapist who is the president-elect and some of his nominees for top administration jobs like attorney general and defense secretary.
