“This is about protecting women and girls in spaces that should be reserved for them, like locker rooms, bathrooms, and changing rooms,” Mace explained during her appearance. “I’ll continue to fight for policies that safeguard these spaces from being compromised.”
Her remarks have drawn sharp criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates and progressive lawmakers. “What Rep. Mace fails to understand is that inclusion and respect for transgender people are fundamental to our society,” said one LGBTQ+ rights advocate. “Her comments perpetuate harmful stereotypes and reinforce discrimination.”
