Two weeks ago, a Democrat called Sarah McBride, a man who pretends he is a woman, was elected to Congress from Delaware.
This is history, the far-left pro-”transgender” mainstream media crowed, because McBride is the first “openly transgender” candidate elected to Congress.
On Monday, GOP Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina made history, too. She introduced a resolution to keep McBride and other men out of the women’s restrooms on Capitol Hill.
And today, Mace announced her bill to keep men out of women’s restrooms on all federal property.
Thus has the insanity of “transgender” ideology flopped into the lap of GOP-controlled Congress.
Keep McBride Out of the Ladies’ Room
“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,” the resolution says, Fox News reported.
It requires the House sergeant-at-arms, William McFarland to enforce it, The Hill reported. “But it is unclear how the House’s chief law enforcement officer will determine who can and cannot use the Capitol’s facilities,” the website continued.
Enforcement regardless, Mace is clear on what she expects Congress to do: Keep men out of her restroom.
“The sanctity of protecting women and standing up against the Left’s systematic erasure of biological women starts here in the nation’s Capitol,” she said:
We are standing up for women, protecting their spaces, and restoring a bit of sanity to Capitol Hill. The Left screams TERF politics, we call it putting women first.
TERF means “trans-exclusionary reactionary feminist,” meaning the women who won’t want to share bathrooms with men.
A pro-”transgender” ABC News reporter chased down Mace and asked whether she drafted the resolution in response to McBride’s election to Congress.
“Absolutely, 100 percent,” Mace said, observing that the bill does not, however, mention any names.
Continued Mace:
I’m not gonna allow biological men into women’s private spaces. I will stand in the brink and stand in the way of the radical left who thinks that it’s OK for a penis to be in a woman’s locker room or a bathroom or a changing room. Hell no. I am not going to stand for it, and the [House] Speaker [Mike Johnson] said it’ll be in the House Rules package. If it’s not, I’ll be ready with a motion … to force a vote on this. This is not OK. I’m a survivor of rape. I’m a survivor of sexual abuse and I’m not gonna allow any man in any female private space out here.
Mace said “trans women” are threatening to murder her over a “man’s right to be in a woman’s restroom.”
The ABC reporter fired a loaded question, noting that Johnson said every congressman will be treated with “dignity and respect.” Is forcing McBride to use a men’s room “dignity and respect,” the reporter asked, clearly intending to suggest otherwise.
“Forcing women to share private spaces with men is not dignity and not respect,” Mace told the pro-McBride reporter:
I’m absolutely gonna stand in the way of anyone who thinks it’s OK for a man to be in our locker room, in our changing rooms, in our dressing rooms, and women’s bathrooms. And in fact if you agree with that, you’re crazy. Cause that’s not OK. It’s not OK.
A Man Is a Man, a Woman Is a Woman
When a reporter asked Johnson whether McBride was a man or woman, Johnson equivocated. “Look, I’m not going to get into this,” Johnson said:
We welcome all new members with open arms who are duly elected representatives of the people. I believe it’s a … command that we treat all persons with dignity and respect, and we will.”
Realizing the blunder, Johnson later returned to the microphones. Noting the question, he said he didn’t answer because the answer is “so obvious.”
Said Johnson:
For anybody who doesn’t know my well-established record on this issue, let me be unequivocally clear. A man is a man, and a woman is a woman. And a man cannot become a woman.… That’s what Scripture teaches, what I just said. But I also believe we treat everybody with dignity. And so we can do and believe all those things at the same time.
For his part, McBride’s pantyhose twisted into a ball, The Hill reported. “This is a blatant attempt from far right-wing extremists to distract from the fact that they have no real solutions to what Americans are facing,” the man-lady fumed.
Yesterday, Mace posted video of herself pasting the word “biological” over the sign to a women’s restroom.
Federal Bill
Mace’s bill to ban men from women’s restrooms in all federal facilities defines male and female.
A female, the bill says, is “an individual who naturally has, had, will have, or would have, but for a developmental or genetic anomaly or historical accidents, the reproductive system that at some point produces, transports, and utilizes eggs for fertilization.”
Using the same language, the bill says a male has a reproductive system that uses sperm.
“The radical Left would rather call me an extremist than admit they are wrong,” Mace said of her bill:
The radical Left says I’m a “threat.” You better believe it. And I will shamelessly call you out for putting women and girls in harm’s way. Women fought for these spaces, and I will not let them be erased to score political points with a small but loud activist class.
Women and girls shouldn’t have to give up their safety or privacy just because the Left wants to win points with their activist base. This isn’t controversial — it’s common sense. I’m going to continue defending women and girls from these harmful, out-of-touch, and straight up weird policies.
McBride’s personal story is incandescently crazy. Real name Tim, he announced that he was a woman in 2012. He “married” a “trans man” called Andrew Cray, who died of cancer four days after their “wedding” in 2014.
As one would expect, McBride the man towered over Cray the woman.
