It shouldn't happen in the Capital, it shouldn't happen in a Jr High, it shouldn't happen in a public bath or locker room. That is the point. Well done Congresswoman Mace.

[Phokoph]

The dude is not a woman and besides banning a man from the women's bathroom should not be controversial!

[Carol-ccpz]

Nancy Mace is not only speaking for herself or the Capitol but for most women in USA and for common decency. Thank you Nancy Mace.🇺🇲🦅⚖️

Its not a distraction at all. The days of this stupidity are over, quicker its addressed and dealt with, quicker we all move on.

Not wanting transitioning men using women’s bathrooms is not disgusting!! A man in a woman’s bathroom is absolutely wrong and Nancy Mace is taking on a problem that citizens like me want handled!! There are more women in this country that do not want transitioning men in our bathrooms than those who don’t care. It is not a distraction it is part of the reason why we voted Trump into office!!!

[jeffbeard]

After four years of your democratic party's terrible policies, we honestly don't give a [redacted] what you have to say. This is a major issue in America, a reason your party got swept out, and is one of the quickest issue to remedy. The majority of America has spoken.

[debrasanders]
