Trans Activist Has Blunt Reminder For Nancy Mace About Trans Women During Trump's First Term

Charlotte Clymer posted a truth bomb about where trans women in the Capitol went to the bathroom during the Trump years after Rep. Nancy Mace announced she would force transgender women to go to the men's room.

Transgender activist Charlotte Clymer posted a truth bomb about where transgender women in the Capitol went to the bathroom during the first Trump administration after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace announced she would seek to ban transgender women from the women's bathroom.

Mace introduced a resolution to bar members of Congress, as well as congressional officers and employees, from using single-sex facilities that do not align with their biological sex. The proposal was clearly designed to target Sarah McBride, who recently secured Delaware's lone seat in the House and will become the first openly transgender member of Congress.


Shortly after Mace's action made the news, Clymer said in a Substack piece that "it remains very unclear how this rule would be enforced, and when Rep. Mace was asked that exact question last night, she refused to offer anything in the way of a direct answer."

"What I find most interesting about all this is that trans women have been using women's restrooms in the Capitol and the House and Senate office buildings and the White House for many years, including during all four years of the Trump Administration." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/were-talki...

Then she dropped an inconvenient truth for Mace and all transphobes:

"What I find most interesting about all this is that trans women have been using women's restrooms in the Capitol and the House and Senate office buildings and the White House and the Pentagon for many years now, including during all four years of the Trump Administration."
"Under Donald Trump's leadership, trans women were permitted to use women's restrooms in federal buildings in D.C. and there was never any issue. I have attended hundreds of political events in D.C. over the years and used the restroom at many of them, including in all the buildings listed above."

And whaddyaknow...

"I have washed my hands countless times at the sink next to conservative and Republican women and even had pleasant and brief conversations with many of them. There’s never been an issue. Because the whole point of going to the restroom is to do your business in a private stall and then wash your hands and maybe touch up your make-up and, on occasion, with friends, there might be conversations at the sink."
"That’s it. I’m sorry there’s no mystery here. It’s pretty straightforward and banal."

Clymer went on to note that "the only time I need to worry about using a public restroom is when I travel outside of D.C., always double-checking to see if there are non-discrimination protections in airports during a layover" and that "if there aren’t, I need to locate a single-occupancy restroom and/or carefully plan what I eat and drink during that leg of the trip."

Then she made an even stronger point, this one aimed at Mace directly:

"In the four years that Rep. Nancy Mace has been in Congress, she's known that trans women use women's restrooms in federal buildings in D.C. and it's never been an issue for her. Not once. In all this time."
"Until the first trans woman was elected to Congress. Then it suddenly became an issue. Doesn't it seem like this is an incredibly cynical and cruel attempt on the part of Congresswoman Mace to manufacture outrage and divide people over something that hasn't been a problem?"

After citing McBride's response to Mace—which characterized Mace's action as a "blatant attempt from far right-wing extremists to distract from the fact that they have no real solutions to what Americans are facing"—Clymer concluded with the following:

"I’m glad at least one elected official in this story has the character and discipline to keep focused on the needs of her constituents. She sees petty and cruel distractions for what they are: small and sad."
"But I do feel bad for Congresswoman Mace, who is so desperate for attention that she resorts to policing how others pee and being obsessed with their genitals. I shall genuinely pray for her growth."

And she went even further in a separate post on BlueSky that points out the blatant hypocrisy of Mace and other Republicans who target transgender people under the guise of "protecting" women:

"To recap: Trump is a rapist found liable for defaming the woman he raped. His pick for attorney general is currently accused of statutory rape at sex parties. His pick for defense secretary is accused of sexual assault."
"But Sarah McBride using a restroom is the threat. Okay."

Many concurred.

Sexual assault is a resume builder for trump sycophants.

IF you don’t see the problem, you are part of it. Don’t pretend that you care about women when you’re silent about rape.

It’s all about the hate and the theatre. I will never understand how people can be so cruel.

This. Why the hubbub now? Because there's a barrier being broken. Why else? For attention. For the stunt of it all.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, McBride noted that "Every day Americans go to work with people who have life journeys different than their own and engage with them respectfully, I hope members of Congress can muster that same kindness."

She urged members of Congress to focus on "bringing down the cost of housing, health care, and child care, not manufacturing culture wars." She also made clear that "Delawareans sent me here to make the American dream more affordable and accessible and that’s what I’m focused on."

When asked about the proposal by reporters on Monday, Mace stated she wasn’t concerned about how her future colleague might feel about the measure.

The unrepentant Mace said "Sarah McBride doesn’t get a say in this" because "If you’re a biological man, you shouldn’t be in women’s restrooms.”
