Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) said Tuesday that her push to ban men who identify as transgender women from being able to use women’s restrooms in the House was about protecting women in private spaces.
Mace introduced legislation this week that would force “members, officers, and employees of the House” to use bathrooms that correspond to their biological sex.
“If being a feminist makes me an extremist, I’m totally here for it,” Mace said.
A reporter asked Mace, “Is this effort in response in response to Congresswoman McBride coming to Congress?”
The bill was introduced as Democrats are preparing for their new member, Sarah McBride from Delaware, to become the first transgender member of Congress.
“Yes and absolutely, and then some,” Mace responded. “I’m not going to stand for a man, you know, when someone with a penis is in the women’s locker room, that’s not okay.”

“I’m a victim of abuse myself, I’m a rape survivor,” she continued. “I have PTSD from the abuse I’ve suffered at the hands of a man and I know how vulnerable women and girls are in private spaces.”
“So, I’m absolutely 100% gonna stand in the way of any man who wants to be in a women’s restroom, in our locker rooms, in our changing rooms,” she added. “I will be there fighting you every step of the way.”
