Republican Congresswoman bring forward Bill to ban transwomen from female facilities in Congress

And you could also say Democrats don't give a toss about biological womens rights because it's 'unkind'...@PinkChesnut

Aah but @Snowypeaks some people says 'she's a big meanie' so we're all meant to nod and agree because they #know better....

Doesn't this show Mace cares about women's rights to privacy, safety and dignity? After all she's objecting to male people in the women's facilities, not to female people who claim a special identity.

It's a trans war because Mace could not give a toss about women's rights, or she would not be a republican.

The Reps seem to be saying "man". They aren't mangling their language. Let's hope it catches on here so we don't have to suffer any more tip toeing around the issue and everyone can understand it easily

Let Them Speak. US version.

Well, exactly. This is why most US women don't want this.

How much more obvious does it have to be that the vast vast majority, men and women alike, don't want abusive males in women's and girls spaces. Any man that goes in knowing it will exclude and / or traumatise women is abusive. There's no reason a third space couldn't be used /created, none. It's all about specifically wanting access to unconsenting women.

Women are what they want to use, not the bathroom.

Complete darvo from the Dems. Create a third bathroom for the consenting handmaidens like AOC and McBride. She doesn't get to give away other women's rights.

Threatening a Congresswomen, that's probably treason, with any luck he's going to find himself in deep water with the Secret Service or the FBI. Let the arrests begin.😁

They just can't stop themselves acting true to type.

She’s reposted a response from a TW. Screenshot for those not on X.

I always think of Kellie Jay Keen’s straight cry of ‘He’s a man’ at the swimming competition in the U.S. Proponents of men’s right to trump women are camouflaging it as women being the nasty ones when we push back on their pretence. There is a great enjoyment, and willingness from other women who want to be in with the guys, to trample on and abuse women in this way. And, the great fraud as they are supporting those poor, sensitive, vulnerable diddums (men) who allegedly have less power than the women and girls they trample on.

As I said on another thread, the Democrats made their own trap here which they've already walked straight into.

They've forgotten the optics of this.

Despite saying we should be talking about 'the real issues', the issue thats making the Democrats do something and talk about more, is this subject once again. For someone who has their own private toilet on the premises anyway.

The Dems are recognising it's a great distraction technique for the Republicans but they just can't help themselves as they trip over themselves to say how awful this is and virtue signal their disgust loudest (you can hear the screams on BlueSky).

The Republicans are going to do this time and time again because its catnip for Democrats at this point. They don't need to drop dead cats or shout 'look a squirrel'. They just need to impliment an entirely flaming reasonable sex based policy to divert from any shit they might get up to and to make the Democrats look like fools.

And the Democrats are going to fall into it every single time aren't they?

If Trump wasn't President and about to screw America up permanently, this might actually be incredibly glorious. Instead its depressing on another level.

Because sadly, that is considered a strong enough accusation of wrongdoing that it is expected to silence women.

I hope common sense prevails....and she succeeds

Yep, this focus on the individual, with zero consideration of the impact on the rest of society; no limits to protect the vulnerable etc. This stuff genuinely fits much more easily into an extreme right-wing philosophy than being part of the left. 🤷‍♀️

Men don't get to use women's spaces (and the women within them) to make themselves feel good. Just no. Even if they seem like lovely men, even if they are very sad that they are not women.

No, thank you.

The be kind didn’t last long though as it quickly changed to you are all far right extremists manufacturing culture wars!

It's one of the biggest lies the media ever told.

Women's rights = conservative = 'anti trans' = 'transphobic hate' = religious intolerance = very bad things = bad, bad women

From the article

”As part of her response to Mace's proposal, McBride asked for kindness: 'Every day Americans go to work with people who have life journeys different than their own and engage with them respectfully, I hope members of Congress can muster that same kindness.' ”

And yet McBride sees no unkindness in taking over women’s facilities. The kindness is only ever expected to go in one direction isn’t it - boringly predictable

Thankyou RainWithSunnySpells and nauticant

Good to see the republicans doing what the people have shown they want - enforcing single sex spaces. I hope they do it in all taxpayer funded facilities as suggested

Joe Biden wrote the forward to McBride's 2018 memoir. His administration has tried to expand transgender rights in schools and federal health care programs but those proposals have faced legal challenges from conservatives.

Why are those who object to males using female facilities always labelled conservative? Maybe it's different in the US but I believe the majority of the US ask for fairness for women and therefore will be a mix of political views?
