Nancy Mace makes stunning admission about transgender lawmaker Sarah McBride after bathroom ban

Rep. Nancy Mace, who is crusading to ban transgender Rep.-elect Sarah McBride from using women's restrooms, indicated she is open to meeting with the Delaware Democrat.

Mace, a South Carolina Republican, caused a commotion on Capitol Hill this week after demanding that McBride not be allowed into women's facilities around Congress. 

The Democratic representative-elect is the first openly trans politician elected to Congress, and is the highest-ranking elected trans politico in the nation's history. 

Mace has said that her PTSD from past sexual assault led her to push to ban McBride from entering women's restrooms and changing rooms.

And Speaker Mike Johnson agreed, ruling that lawmakers must only use restrooms of their 'biological sex.' 

Mace has posted videos calling McBride a male, repeatedly speaking about their private parts and slamming transgenderism.

Despite all that, Mace said she would be interested in having a meeting with the incoming Democratic lawmaker. 

'I have always been willing to work with anyone who will work with me,' she told DailyMail.com when pressed on her openness to a sit-down with McBride. 

Though the conciliatory offering was short lived and Mace then began ruthlessly tearing into the Democrat. 

'I voted for the Respect for Marriage Act, not once, but twice, I have sponsored and supported civil liberties protections for LGBTQ, but that's not what this is about.'

'This is about somebody's pecker being in the bathroom or being in the dressing room with women, and we're already vulnerable as it is,' Mace added. 

Earlier this week Mace introduced a bill that would force House members and staffers to use the bathrooms corresponding with their biological sex. 

The measure would specifically mean that McBride, who was born male, would have to use the men's facilities.

The Capitol's top security agent, the Sergeant at Arms, would be tasked with enforcing the policy.  

'Just the idea of a man being in a dressing room with me as survivor of sexual violence, it just sends me over the edge, and I'm just not going to tolerate it,' Mace said Thursday. 

'And I'm really proud of the women and girls who feel the courage and the bravery to stand up and to shout from the rooftops that this is this is not okay.'

'There's a big difference between being pro-civil liberties and then being pro-women,' Mace continued. 'Women have rights and we're not going to erase them.'

Speaker Mike Johnson later in the week expressed his support for the measure.  

'All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings — such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms — are reserved for individuals of that biological sex,' Johnson said in a statement Wednesday. 

'It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol,' he continued. 'Women deserve women's only spaces.'

Also on Wednesday Mace doubled down on her original proposal, which would only extend to the Capitol Hill complex, by introducing further legislation to extend the biological sex bathroom rule to all federal properties. 

The South Carolinian also said she has drafter further trans-related legislation that she will debut in December after recess. 

Democrats, meanwhile, have been outraged by the GOP measures and rhetoric.  

'What Nancy Mace and what Speaker Johnson are doing are endangering all women and girls,' Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., told reporters late Wednesday.

'Because if you ask them what is your plan on how to enforce this? They won't come up with an answer.'

'What it inevitably results in are women and girls who are primed for assault because people are going to want to check their private parts, and suspecting who is trans and who is cis and who's doing what,' AOC argued.
