The quoted comments from the congresswoman are brilliant

First trans member lawmaker blasts GOP after bill blocks bathroom use

A trans war has broken out on Capitol Hill after a Republican lawmaker proposed a measure to block transgender women from using biological women's restrooms in the U.S. Capitol.

According to the Washington Post, the bill “forbids trans people from using any bathroom which aligns with their gender” Wow!

It’s not even true - they can use the gender neutral bathrooms - which align with everyone’s gender! Just don’t use the ones which aren’t for your sex 🤷‍♀️

Really, they should be honest If it's "anti-trans" (and some would claim it is), then is not the alternative equally "anti-women"?

Love to see this forced teaming stop, and the TQ+ separated from the LGB, who it's supposed to be all about,

Gibbering Lunatic Madmen, more like.

Gender Liberation Movement.

What nonsense.

Later Thursday, Mace — who once called herself an ally of LGBTQ people but who has recently grown her following on X since she began pushing her anti-trans agenda

No bias here then, Washington Post Confused

That article has more - 15 arrests after protest.

Any chance of a screenshot or a summary? Unfortunately, X isn't playing today. TIA.

Remember there are gender neutral toilets and individual members have their own toilets.

this is only about access to female single sex toilets

That kind of language towards women is always just beneath the surface with a certain kind of so-called ‘progressive’ man. Loves publicly burnishing his credentials as a feminist but hates a defiant woman who won’t do what she’s told.

Yup. Turns out, at the end of the day, everyone knows what a cunt is and who has it.

Disappointed but not really surprised to see Frank Conniff, one of the old school MST3K writers which is one of my favorite shows, calling Mace a cunt.

Kara Dansky just posted about these developments on her Substack. TRA Democrats really want to pretend it's only crazy Marjorie Taylor Greene–type Republicans who oppose men in women's bathrooms but Mace is defying that characterization and citing Dems who object, and also has brought up men in women's prisons which Dems are loathe to talk about.

Edited

That sounds great.

Considering Mace gets up to 50k likes on some of her tweets on this issue, I’m not surprised she’s realised that it’s an issue that concerns a lot of people.

Also, she doesn’t seem the type to back down to threats of violence, rape and murder, So the various TRAs who are making disgusting phonecalls and videos, and sending disgusting emails and tweets, are only strengthening her defiance as well as showing her she’s hitting a nerve and has an opportunity to make the Dems look bad on the issues of women and children’s safety..

I came across this picture on TwiX and I thought it was amusing and also kind of inspiring in a way too.

Mace also retweeted Kara Dansky multiple times today:
https://x.com/NancyMace/status/1861145622524350519
“A democrat woman also fighting for the rights of women. #HoldTheLine”

AND

https://x.com/NancyMace/status/1861214720130228732
“Cheers, we’re going to win,” she says. Right back at you

#HoldTheLine”

It’s good to see Democrat and Republican women working across the aisle on these types of issues where they agree.

They did this in Ireland with the gay marriage vote.

Well the GRA was passed after the Referendum. But yeah basically it was like a Trojan Horse

ArabellaScott · 27/11/2024 07:47

Women must work together across.party lines. That will also help keep democracy and society healthy, in fact.

It feels like feminism.

No wonder so many misogynist men are furious and terrified.

That's a brilliant article. He really gets it, unlike the Supreme Court judges in court today in the For Women Scotland case, who seemed to have a woeful understanding of the issues.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 26/11/2024 18:10

So good, he's one of the best writers on this topic, bar none.

Brendan O'Neill in full rant mode. What he says would, of course, get most women sacked, perma banned from Mumsnet and hauled in for an interview under caution with a Stonewall captured police officer.

But he's right.

Quite.

GailBlancheViola · 26/11/2024 18:03

The wording of that article is just perfect, hits every bullseye.
