Nancy Mace has vowed to “triple” down on her effort to bar transgender women from using female bathrooms at the Capitol and said she planned to file additional legislation on the topic as soon as Tuesday night.
Democrats, meanwhile, have slammed the effort, which Mace acknowledged is aimed at Rep.-elect Sarah McBride, D-Del., who will soon be the first openly transgender member of Congress.
Standing on the House steps Tuesday afternoon, Mace said: “I am a survivor of sexual abuse. I can tell you right now, I am never going to allow a biological man in any women’s private spaces. … The fact is, people are threatening to kill me over men’s disillusioned right to use women’s bathrooms. This is effing crazy.”
