Nancy Mace introduces resolution to restrict restroom access for transgender lawmakers

U.S. Representative Nancy Mace, who previously identified as "pro-transgender rights" and "pro-LGBTQ," has introduced a resolution to ban transgender lawmakers from using restrooms that match their gender identity. This move follows the election of Sarah McBride, the first transgender person in Congress. Mace's earlier comments included support for individuals expressing their gender identity but opposed gender-affirming care for minors. Recently, she has focused heavily on bathroom policies, stating that protecting women is a priority. GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson supports Mace's resolution, which restricts restroom access based on biological sex. Critics, including Mace's former communications director, have accused her of using the issue for media attention rather than genuine concern for women's safety.
