Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has taken a strong stance on protecting women’s privacy in shared spaces by introducing legislation aimed at ensuring biological men cannot use women’s restrooms within the U.S. House of Representatives. Her proposal, unveiled this week, mandates that all members, officers, and employees of the House adhere to restroom use based on their biological sex.
This is the exact type of man I don’t want in the women’s restroom with me.
He says he’s going to
🚨Grab my ratty looking f*****g hair
🚨Drag my face to the floor
🚨Repeatedly bash my head until blood everywhere
🚨And kill me pic.twitter.com/WnbMgGYId4— Rep. Nancy Mace (@RepNancyMace) November 19, 2024
In defending her push for the bill, Mace firmly tied her advocacy to protecting the safety and privacy of women, particularly in light of her own past experiences. “If being a feminist makes me an extremist, I’m totally here for it,” Mace stated, unapologetically embracing her position.
I never thought we would need a sign for this, but women's restrooms are for BIOLOGICAL women. Not men. pic.twitter.com/42lOMhqHFT

When a reporter questioned whether this initiative was prompted by the upcoming swearing-in of Sarah McBride, Delaware’s newly elected representative and the first openly transgender member of Congress, Mace did not shy away. “Yes and absolutely, and then some,” she affirmed. Her response reflected a broader concern, explicitly addressing the discomfort and potential safety risks she associates with the presence of biological men in spaces designated for women.

Mace also brought personal context to the issue, citing her own history as a survivor of sexual violence. “I’m a victim of abuse myself, I’m a rape survivor,” she revealed. “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.” This lived experience underscored her determination to prevent what she sees as encroachments on women’s safety.
“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 emphasized. “I will be there fighting you every step of the way.”
