Democrat Sarah McBride, who won in the Delaware at-large district, became the first openly transgender individual to be elected to the US House of Representatives.

Although she is set to begin serving next year, McBride won’t be allowed into women’s restrooms in the Capitol any more after House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican representing Louisiana, banned lawmakers and House employees from using single-sex bathrooms that do not correspond with the biological sex they’re assigned at birth.

The resolution was first introduced by Republican South Carolina Representative Nancy Mace, who, when questioned if she was deliberately targeting the former Delaware state senator, said, “Yes, and absolutely, and then some.”

“I’ve suffered at the hands of a man and I know how vulnerable women and girls are in private spaces,” she added, despite the fact that McBride is also a woman.

Mace now says she is receiving death threats over the ban, but appears unbothered. “A woman being bullied for – wait for it – protecting women,” she claimed,” is the height of gaslighting. I’ll drink your tears in my pinot noir tonight. Cheers!” she wrote on her X account.

So, just who is Nancy Mace?
