Trans extremists are threatening to bash my head in but I won't be silenced! NANCY MACE fires back at AOC and the bathroom 'bullies'

On societal media, men are threatening to bash my caput in.

One of these anonymous harassers went truthful acold arsenic to ideate attacking maine successful a bathroom.

In America today, this is what happens to women erstwhile they advocator for their ain safety.

As the archetypal pistillate postgraduate from South Carolina's subject college, The Citadel, and the archetypal Republican congresswoman elected successful the state, I've breached barriers each my life. I'm besides a subsister of rape and domestic violence, and I inactive unrecorded with PTSD from these traumatizing experiences.

My advocacy isn't governmental — it's personal.

That is wherefore I took the pb this week successful introducing a House solution to prohibition biologic men from women's bathrooms, locker rooms and different backstage spaces successful the U.S. Capitol.

On Wednesday, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson announced a argumentation that ratified my concerns. And similar clockwork, the Democrats erupted.

But they're not outraged implicit the dozens of decease threats that I americium present receiving. For that, they stay silent. Their choler is directed elsewhere – astatine me.

'What Nancy Mace and what Speaker Johnson are doing are endangering each women and girls,' Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said connected Thursday, arsenic she ridiculously claimed that Republicans 'want to beryllium capable to inspect [people's] genitals to beryllium capable to usage the bathroom?'

How vile… and predictable.

Of course, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez fails to notation that determination are backstage bathrooms successful each member's bureau and unisex bathrooms disposable passim the Capitol Complex for everyone careless of sex identity.

She ignores that my soon-to-be colleague, Rep. Sarah McBride, who is transgender, said that she'll travel the House rules arsenic outlined by Speaker Johnson. And I look guardant to moving with Rep. McBride connected issues important to america both.

To the Left this is simply a governmental talking point. To the millions of American it's a substance of communal sense.

I volition not beryllium shamed into soundlessness oregon backmost down aft being ludicrously branded a bigot.

I voted doubly to let same-sex matrimony and I person sponsored authorities bolstering protections for LGBTQ Americans.

This combat is not astir bigotry. It is astir lasting up for women and girls.

As a subsister of abuse, the thought of a biologic antheral demanding to participate my dressing country is menacing – and I'm a grown pistillate susceptible and equipped to support myself.

But what astir those who cannot support themselves?

Nearly 4 years ago, California began allowing antheral inmates to beryllium housed successful correctional facilities successful a 'manner accordant with their sex identity.'

A poster lad for the instrumentality was Tremaine Carroll, a convulsive transgression and accused enactment predator who was transferred successful 2021 from a men's situation to Central California Women's Facility.

By May 2024, Carroll had been transferred backmost to a men's lockup – indicted connected 2 counts of rape of pistillate inmates. Carroll's lawsuit is ongoing.

This is an utmost illustration – but 1 that indispensable beryllium enactment guardant due to the fact that it shows however acold transgender ideology has gone successful America. It wholly ignores the wide biologic ground for the separation of the genders successful backstage places.

A stunning reported 81 percent of American women acquisition immoderate signifier of intersexual harassment and/or battle successful their lifetime. More than fractional of women person been sexually touched successful an unwelcome way. More than 1 successful 4 women person survived intersexual assault.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and others besides impeach maine of blowing this contented retired of proportion. Yet they are the ones who importune that each women indispensable alteration however they unrecorded and compromise their well-being successful favour of the astir 1.1 percent of Americans who place arsenic trans. 

I'm not seeking to bounds anyone's rights – I'm seeking to affirm the rights of women.

That's wherefore this House regularisation is lone the beginning.

The U.S. Capitol is the spot of our democracy. It indispensable acceptable the standard. I americium present introducing authorities to grow the same-sex bath argumentation crossed national spot nationwide and successful schools funded by the national government.

Women and girls merit much than to person their needs ignored and protective boundaries erased.

One lawsuit of preventable abuse, battle oregon harassment is 1 excessively many. We indispensable enactment earlier different pistillate oregon miss becomes a statistic.
