‘You thought threatening me would silence me?’: Nancy Mace doubles down in transgender bathroom battle with new law expanding ban to all ‘federal property’

South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace is waging a bathroom battle on Capitol Hill and has “doubled down” on her anti- transgender stance by proposing new bathroom-focused legislation.

Mace, a Republican, said in a post on X , “Oh you thought threatening me would silence me? No. I just doubled down and filed a new bill to protect women and girls across the entire country on all federal property everywhere.”

The bill, branded, the “Protecting Women’s Private Spaces Act,” would prohibit people from using single-sex bathrooms, locker rooms, or changing rooms on federal property “other than those corresponding to their biological sex.” It defines “federal property” as any building or land owned by an agency of the U.S. government, including the Department of Defense and the U.S. Postal Service, and would apply to places such as national parks and museums.

Further, property owned by the municipal government of Washington, D.C., and the governments of U.S. territories also fall under the bill’s definition federal property.
