A trans activist has threatened to murder Republican Representative Nancy Mace after she introduced a resolution aimed at prohibiting trans-identified biological men from using women’s restrooms in the U.S. Capitol.

Rep. Mace’s proposal comes just weeks after the election of Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress, who is set to take office in January 2025.

Mace stated that her initiative is a direct response to McBride’s election, declaring, “Yes and absolutely, and then some.” 

“I will firmly oppose any man who wishes to enter a women’s restroom, locker rooms, or changing areas,” she added.

Hours later, Mace revealed that she received a death threat from a trans activist who promised to bash her head if the two were to ever meet.

“This is the exact type of man I don’t want in the women’s restroom with me,” Mace said on social media.

Mace contends that permitting trans-identified men in female-only spaces compromises the security and self-respect of female employees and politicians. 

As expected, she is being called bigoted for her proposal, including from the Democratic representative-elect McBride, who called her a “far-right wing extremist” in response to the bill.

Mace subsequently posted to X, “This is so strange to me. 25 years ago I was celebrated as the first woman to graduate from a formerly all-male military college. Today I’m being attacked as a ‘bigot’ for fighting for women’s rights.”
