G.O.P. lawmakers whose leaders have pressed to roll back transgender rights around the country moved to bar Sarah McBride, the first transgender member of Congress, from women’s rooms on Capitol Hill.
In Washington this week for new member orientation, Ms. McBride was still sitting through mandatory cybersecurity trainings, setting up her payroll, selecting district offices and learning how to introduce a bill when her new Republican colleague, Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina, announced plans to introduce a measure to bar transgender women from using women’s restrooms and changing rooms in the Capitol complex.
Ms. Mace did not try to pretend that she was doing anything other than targeting one individual with her resolution, even though it would apply to all employees and officers of the House.
“Sarah McBride doesn’t get a say,” she told reporters on Monday night. “I mean, this is a biological man.” She said that Ms. McBride “does not belong in women’s spaces, women’s bathrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms — period, full stop.”
What a cunt. And for the first time in a very, very long time, I do not mean that in the jocular, gender-neutral Scottish way. I mean it in the mean, American way. Including this time, I can still count the number of times on one hand that I’ve used that word in that way.
Ms. Mace is indeed, a cunt.
And I don’t mean the jovial mate-ship meaning of the word in Australian vernacular.
It’s literally the first word that comes to mind when you read her hateful small-minded and petty statement regarding a new fellow member of Congress who has never done a single fucking thing to her to deserve such blatant disrespect
I agree completely – said with the C and the T as very sharp and pronounced as possible.
