Nancy Mace's Pro-Transgender Comments Resurface: 'Be Who You Want to Be'

Nancy Mace—who ignited controversy this month by introducing a resolution to ban transgender lawmakers from using restrooms at the U.S. Capitol that correspond to their gender identity—last year described herself as "pro-transgender rights," per an interview resurfaced by CNN."I'm pro-transgender rights," Mace of South Carolina told CBS News' The Takeout in May 2023.

"I'm pro-LGBTQ."The Republican lawmaker made the comments while saying she opposed gender-affirming care for minors. "Sex change surgery, the hormone blockers that sterilize our children, we shouldn't be doing that," she said."Now, if they want to take on a different pronoun or a different gender identity, or grow their hair out, or wear a dress, or wear pants, or do those things as a minor, those are all things that I think most people would support.

Be who you want to be, but don't make those permanent changes when it's a child," Mace added.When CNN asked Mace about the interview, she replied via text message: "Voted for gay marriage twice. Would do it again.

Have supported pro LGBTQ legislation. Draw the line at women being forced to undress in front of men or men using our bathrooms or any private spaces."Mace introduced the Capitol restroom measure after Democratic U.S.

Representative-elect Sarah McBride became the first transgender person elected to Congress. When Mace was asked by reporters whether her proposal was in response to McBride's election, she said, "Yes, absolutely, and then some."GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson signaled his support for Mace's resolution last week, saying in a statement that he supported restricting "single-sex facilities" in the Capitol to "individuals of that biological sex," effectively barring McBride from using the women's restroom.Johnson went on to note that "each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol."McBride acknowledged Johnson's comments, saying in a statement, "I'm not here to fight about

Montana Supreme Court Halts Ban on Transgender Health Care
The Montana Supreme Court upheld a temporary injunction blocking the state from enforcing its ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth.The unanimous ruling is historic, marking the first time that a state Supreme Court has found that a ban on gender-affirming care is likely unconstitutional.On December 11, the court ruled that SB 99, a 2023 law categorically banning all transition-related medical interventions on minors, violates the Montana State Constitution’s privacy clause, which prohibits the government from interfering with private medical decisions.With the law blocked, transgender youth will still be able to access medical treatments for gender dysphoria — provided that their personal care physician does not refuse transgender patients due to intimidation or fear of being prosecuted.Several transgender teens, their families, and two medical providers filed suit last year to block the law, arguing that it violated the Montana constitution’s guarantee of medical privacy.
