Summary

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina to introduce a measure banning transgender women from using women's bathrooms in the U.S. Capitol.

The move comes just two weeks after Democrat Sarah McBride became the first openly transgender person elected to Congress.

Mace characterized the measure as an attempt to protect women's rights, but Democrats criticized it as a distraction from pressing policy issues.

Don't minimize these people's hate. They know exactly what they're doing. (And likely so do you)

I highly doubt she's a feminist, for what it's worth.

She's a Republican. So, yeah.

Doesnt a TERF still have feminist values? Republicans hate women, and are not feminists.

I really don't think their version was minimizing anything. Just less specific.
