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

[Hoardasurass]

The quoted comments from the congresswoman are brilliant

No, dear.

Yes, sweetie.

I am utterly perplexed as to why our heroeine Nancy Mace has said nothing about this grave threat from a staunch supporter of her own party when he openly threatened women!

@Snowypeaks

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?

I'm not on MN constantly, so I don't always see questions as they're posted.

I'm actually not opposed to single-sex toilets. What I am opposed to is political grandstanding and bigotry for no good reason except cruelty.

I did see Rep. Zephyr's statement, yes. I think it's unnecessarily inflammatory and unhelpful.

Im sure she's quite occupied with the actual threats to kill her by "trans women".

No, dear.

That's called confirmation bias, or in lay person terms "reading into something what you wish to see."

So - women are responsible for what men do and say?

But men aren’t? Why isn’t the TiM McBride “denouncing” the death threats Mace has received?

Yes, and you aren't immune either, dear.

Snap.

But men aren’t? Why isn’t the TiM McBride “denouncing” the death threats Mace has received?

Quite.

Strange, this threat far predated any threats made to her.

Shocking she did not say anything at all.

Absolutely shocking from a true warrior for women's safety. I am at a loss as to what to think in regards to this lapse of hers!

Of course not.

Glad you could admit it though, thank you.

You hate how effective she is, don’t you?

Actually had a nice chat with a trans lady friend of mine who was furious with the threats, as was a trans man. Both of them found it unacceptable. Most trans people think threats have no place in this dicussion.

Glad you could admit it though, thank you.

I've never said anything different. The point?

The fact none of you find her utter failure to speak out about this a sign of what really matters to her is sad.

She isn't here to protect any women at all, her only goal was to hurt trans people.

Glad to hear it. But it would be good for McBride to do so, as a public figure. Or any of Macbride's handwringing Democrat or media supporters.

Yes, that would be the first thing you’d clock about two fine lads in a picture. As much biologically women, as women themselves. Maybe such fine lads (or should I say loverly ladies) are the real biological women. That would be the ‘Science’ now, according to some, I’m sure.

Politics are a bit too heated in the US for me to expect McBride to extend the olive branch, I don't blame her if she does not.

Sure.

She’s going to ensure men dont have access to women’s spaces. This protects women and girls.

Who knows what her private motivation is - GC feminism vs political gain? maybe both. Who cares? No one trusts politicians when they state their motives.

I must say I find it very sad that prominent TRAs can't even bring themselves to denounce graphic death threats 🤷‍♀️

Nancy Mace is a brave woman, whatever else I may disagree with her on politically. I fully support her in this.

I will say this... Mace's actions will likely backfire and push more people away from gender critical viewpoints because of a simple truth that has born out for decades: The American population tends to get more progressive under republican governments and more conservative under democratic governments.

They shift in opposition of the ruling party. This is also shown in declining church attendance during republican presidential terms.

Feeling the need to go back to Katie Dolatowski here!

MoJ statistics suggest that transwomen pose at least as much of a threat to women as other men

Also condemning death threats to women from males isn't "extending an olive branch" it's just what decent people do, when they are made in their name.
