Nancy Mace Pushes Resolution to Ban Transgender Women from Capitol Restrooms

The proposal, targeting newly elected transgender Rep. Sarah McBride, has ignited significant controversy and threats.

Rep. Nancy Mace introduced a resolution to bar transgender women from using women's restrooms in the U.S. Capitol, directly targeting Rep.-elect Sarah McBride.
Mace, who is a survivor of sexual assault, argues the measure is necessary to protect women’s safety in private spaces.
The resolution has sparked a heated debate, with Mace receiving death threats from opponents of the bill.
Critics, including McBride, accuse Mace of using the issue to distract from more pressing national concerns like healthcare and housing costs.
House Speaker Mike Johnson has suggested he might support Mace's proposal, though he emphasizes treating all members with dignity and respect.
