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

[Hoardasurass]

The quoted comments from the congresswoman are brilliant

First trans member lawmaker blasts GOP after bill blocks bathroom use https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14098953/nancy-mace-trans-lawmaker-bathroom-capitol-hill-sarah-mcbride.html?ito=native_share_article-nativemenubutton

Women are just supposed to strut and look purty.

Not stride and talk - AT THE SAME DAMN TIME!

There’s a man in Washington who repeatedly stands in front of a podium with a crest on with his own title on it, and announces to an audience of millions his intentions for political action. I mean, how far up your own arse do you have to be to do that? What a bigot.

That was a very long winded way of reiterating that you can't point to what is bigoted about sponsoring a bill to ensure that women's toilets are for women only, or it may have been your way of explaining that you don't know what "bigotry" means.

Can you explain why you are opposed to women's single sex toilets?

I would strongly disagree. At worst, science is still debating and it's undecided, at best, sex is a spectrum.

Science isn't debating it, a few lower tier activists are presenting counterfactual propaganda as reasoned debate. In the US, there are evangelical geologists, who insist that the Earth is no more than 10,000 years old and that dinosaurs coexisted with humans.

They're as nutty as the ones you've presented.

They are something of an unusual pattern of behaviour aren't they?

Anyone here in the habit of taking selfies in the ladies on a regular basis?

The science is settled, actually. We know who can get pregnant and who can make others pregnant.

The hidden sexism is really a sight to behold isn't it?

Women are not allowed to be assertive. They are not allowed to present in certain ways because it's 'aggressive' or worse bigoted. A man does the same and no one blinks. Indeed it's expected.

And then we get polls about 15% of Americans who would not even consider voting for a woman for President. Probably because the women spend all the time making sure they aren't caught in images looking intimidating and ensuring they look passive, so they don't scare off all the voters!

Female politicians can't win.

This might be a lesson for all that identity as women...

So you've resorted to tone-policing now.

You've lost the argument.

You might want to take a look at how tone policing is used to silence women and other marginalised people everywhere.

It’s the pronouns you use, isn’t it? If you use she/her pronouns you can get pregnant. And, if you use he/him pronouns you can be the father of the child. Or is it the other way around?

Now wibble/wobble has me a bit perplexed as to the biological implications. Science is so hard.

More helpful sunlight from Rep Zooey Zephyr:

'I literally just got out of meetings with members of Congress & used the bathroom on my way out. Trans women are women—full stop. We're every bit as "biologically female" as cis women &
@SpeakerJohnson's statement doesn't change the fact that women's spaces include trans women.'

Stride-policing rather

I assume all the newly elected Republicans are going to be going all-out to increase their visibility so that IF Donald Trump (oldest man ever elected President) has to stand down at any stage in the next four years and J D Vance needs a V P, they'll be in consideration.

Nancy Mace has got off to an excellent start. Having read her Wiki bio, she's an interesting woman.

So funny you've all become stuck on the word 'stride'. I could have chosen 'prance' - you know, like a model on a catwalk - but that's rather misogynist, isn't it? What's a better, less offensive description? Toddle? Tiptoe? Walk itself is too boring and doesn't describe the assertive way she was walking, you see.

Good point.

The thing is, it’s possible for Mace’s stance on this to be political posturing AND correct. I admire her for it.

Have you just found this board? I've been here a long time but my views fall outside the mainstream views here. I'm quite used to tone policing and silencing.

Why is a woman walking in an assertive way an issue for you?

If you engaged with the actual questions that have been put to you, posters wouldn't have to amuse themselves in other ways.

Why are you opposed to the provision of single sex toilets for women?

And incidentally, did you notice that statement by Rep Zooey Zephyr quoted upthread?

Anyone know if Mace denounced the new male republican slogan of "your body, my choice"?

Of course she didn't. She isn't bothered if a cis man makes a statement like that, but god forbid a trans woman need to fix her makeup or take a piss.

Demonstrating that you understand perfectly well what male means.

To be fair, denouncing is very 2021. It’s “aligned with” now.

The TiM can piss in the men’s toilet now, and contour his foundation there as well.

No, dear.

Just pointing out she doesn't feel trans women and cis men pose the same threat as one another even when the former is just popping into the loo for a whiz and the latter is threatening rape and forced pregnancy.

So she had nothing to say about a Republican pundit telling women that he was free to do with their bodies as he liked?

So odd of her not to even mention it! Given she is such a warrior for women's safety. A mystery that shall never be solved.

As you should know, stats on transwomen offenders don't bear that out.

'Zooey', on the left.

The other male person in the photo is fake news purveyor "Erin in the Morning" who I understand is "Zooey Zephyr"'s partner.
