A Mace Weapon To Be Wary Of
Thoughts on Nancy Mace and Her Outrage at Transgenders in Women's Bathrooms
This past week, Congresswoman Nancy Mace has made headlines as she has led the charge to exclude men, notably so-called “trans women,” from women’s bathrooms in the capitol building. This is in response to the election of “Sarah”—real name Tim—McBride, the first “transgender person” elected to Congress. Mace has further proposed legislation extending the ban to all federal buildings. Many against the transgender menace are lauding her efforts. Because of her opposition to men’s bathrooma, speaker Mike Johnson, at first declining to address the matter altogether, made a statement, in response to negative backlash on twitter and elsewhere, confirming the obvious:
A man is a man, a woman is a woman, and a man cannot become a woman.”
Of course, he parlayed this with the usual milquetoast rhetoric about how everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. As a result of her controversy her office has received death threats, and she has even drawn the ire of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Lying beneath her fiery rhetoric however are the very seeds that gave harvest to her outrage and indignation. Some might be unaware that Nancy Mace was the first graduate from the Citadel, a military college that, founded in 1842, had been all-male for over 150 years. Mace’s path was actually first forged when one Shannon Faulkner applied for admission to the Citadel in 1994. That controversy led to lawsuits against both the Citadel and the Virginia Military Institute, which went all the way up to the Supreme Court. Regrettably, the highest court in the land ruled that both the Citadel and the Virginia Military institute violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. It is of note that Faulkner’s enrollment at the Citadel lasted about a day while enrolled as a “cadet.” Doughy even as a teenager, she was the antithesis of conspicuously fit women who at least try to compete with men on equal footing.
Shannon Faulkner today. Those with particular knowledge of the circumstances will recall that she was particularly unsuitable for the rigorous demands of The Citadel as it then existed.
Stated another way, Nancy Mace is in league with Faulkner and other feminist harpies of similar ilk. In this way, Mace, and most all so-called TERFS, have unknowingly advocated—for decades—for the very antecedents of what now distresses them. As much as women like Mace—and more particularly Faulkner—hate to hear it, there is a little transgenderism, a little gender fluidity, in their brand of feminism. There is transgenderism, or the seeds of transgenderism, in the fundamental supposition that men and women are more or less interchangeable, that women can, and should, serve in combat roles in the military, or on-the-beat roles in law enforcement, or have the right to destroy institutions like the Citadel or the Virginia Military Institute. Mace and those in league with her complain about how men are invading women’s spaces, failing to either concede or even discern that they have invaded men’s spaces for decades. This is brought into sharper relief when one consider how her rhetoric and the rhetoric of figures like J.K. Rowling never denounce transgenderism in terms of how it harms both men and women, but only in respect to how it harms women.
It is also noteworthy that Mace has presented herself as a “moderate Republican,” supporting LGBTQ and gay marriage even as late as 2022. Here is a screenshot being circulated by transgender advocates and zealots.
A distasteful image circulated by transgender zealots. Although mistaken about almost everything, they have a point in this instance, although it was one that works against them, demonstrating that the real mistake was to have tolerated any of this in the first place.
Another mainstream Republican—one hesitates to even call her conservative—who fails to comprehend the immutable axiom of defining deviancy down. Normalizing homosexuality, rendering it mainstream via so-called gay marriage defines deviancy down, inevitably leading formerly more deviant behavior as the new frontier. If the conservative establishment had the fortitude or the intellectual framework to effectively oppose and stop gay marriage and the normalziatio0n of homosexuality, we would not be contending with the transgender menace, including the indoctrination of children and minors with such madness.
It is even possible that Mace has latched on to the women’s restrooms in a fit of opportunism, particularly as the “Kamala is for they/them” advertisement may be the most impactful advertisement in presidential history. Why else would she now be leading the charge, and not before Trump’s incredible comeback victory that is attributed at least in part to public opinion turning against, at least in some small measure, transgender lunacy, at least as it pertains to women’s sports and restrooms?
Ultimately, both Mace and Johnson are excellent case studies on just how ineffectual establishment conservatism and the mainstream GOP apparatus are. Effective opposition to transgenderism must embrace that call for “absolute intolerance,” with no mealy-mouthed talk about how everyone deserves “dignity and respect,” or limits its opposition to transgenderism only insofar as it inconveniences or offends overbearing women like Nancy Mace who, still, to this day, do not see how their sustained attack against traditional gender roles—rooted in immutable differences between the sexes—sowed the seeds of the transgender menace.
