A bill like this would normally get called a ban in all but name; but since it is literally called the “Gender Delusion Disqualification Act”, it is, in essence, a ban in name as well.

So by typical GOP posturing, Nancy Mace is a trans female. Every accusation/action is an admission.

[-] blastosist@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 day ago

Marginalizing out groups and grifting is all the GOP seems to be able to do.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

That's all conservatives have done for decades - punch down, and destroy shit that others have built.

So the lady is delusional and should be barred from holding any office.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

At least any office that requires a clearance and mental health screening. (/s - kick her ass to the curb)

This is the stupid bitch that acted like having a homosexual ask her questions about town halls in a store meant she was being attacked or something, right?

The gays once spoke to her. She never got over it

[-] prex@aussie.zone 38 points 2 days ago

...and yet somehow a dick as well.

Dicks also fuck assholes

[-] QueenHawlSera@piefed.social 32 points 2 days ago

I still remember a "friend" who I'm considering making an ex-friend, try to tell me that she wasn't transphobic, she just had trauma.

No she's transphobic, and I'm tired of pretending TERFs have legitimate grievances with trans women.

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Jim Crow was built because it was "common sense" that white women's safety demanded the exclusion of black men and women from society. Segregated washrooms existed because white women "didn't feel comfortable" sharing restrooms with black women.

[-] Neverclear@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 2 days ago

Honestly, she's probably a closeted FtM who is overcompensating.

[-] bedwyr@piefed.ca 20 points 2 days ago

I heard mace opened a youtube channel where she is thirst trapping (dressing very provokatively) all the geriatrics with her big fake tits and such. She is one lost election away from opening an only fans account.

As a reminder of her character, she did a stand up routine at some congressional kind of roasting thing on Matt Gaetz about him sleeping with underage girls. Meanwhile she has been protected epstein and his associates.

A cynical operator to the core.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago

I don't know anything about her, but you're telling me this bitch has had gender affirming care, but wants to stop other people from doing the same‽ Ok, I'm not actually that surprised. That's typical Republican behavior.

[-] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

If the jobs require mental health screenings, and trans people are supposedly mentally ill... surely they'll just fail, and there's no need for an additional ban. Surely, right?

Or are we about to hear that the radical left has somehow infiltrated all mental health screenings?

[-] Wataba@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 days ago

Mace to the face.

Ideally the very spicy and burning variety.

[-] watson387@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 days ago

Or the big metal ball with spikes kind.

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 22 points 2 days ago

I don't like her.

[-] Sanguine@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 days ago
[-] egrets@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Nancy Mace is not a radical feminist by any definition. She's vocally anti-abortion, she portrays LGBTQ+ people as child predators, and she was part of Trump's 2016 campaign even after the "grab 'em by the pussy" hot mic incident.

[-] Sanguine@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

New acronym then: TEPOS

[-] paraphrand@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

She’s also going around talking about UFOs. Not a serious person.

[-] bedwyr@piefed.ca 3 points 2 days ago

To be fair, the UAP things are real. We have them on camera, with reliable witnesses. It defies explanation, I reject aliens just because of the unfathomably large distances between solar systems and my belief that warp speed is not a real thing.

If I had to guess, I would go for some kind of hologram technology. That is the most logical explanation I can think of.

That said, she is not a serious person, she opened a youtube channel where she is showing off her fake boobs and such very provokatively, enticing all the geriatrics running the party and business I presume.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

"reliable witness" here are pilots, many years after the events took place. Sure, I expect them to be good at flying, and identifying enemy aircraft while flying, but they also make mistakes. Do you know how many doctors have falsely identified things in a body? They're trained a lot more, and a body is significantly more consistent than literally everything in the air.

From what I've seen, basically all of the recordings are consistent with an object moving slowly in the air closer than what the pilot thinks. This makes small movements, or just the aircraft movements, appear faster. Hologram technology is not a logical explanation.

[-] bedwyr@piefed.ca 1 points 1 day ago

It is well documented, there are multiple multiple instances, caught on camera verified by pilots, and a great number of witnesses.

Your explanation doesn't fit, at all, and you haven't read the evidence closely enough clearly.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Sorry, but I have. There's no need for extraordinary explanations. Every one of the events can be explained by ordinary means. People just want it to be something else.

If you're interested Mick West is a great resource.

[-] Sunflier@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

There’s no need for extraordinary explanations.

Do the Gimbal video and Commander David Fravor's tic tac, which were released by the DoD as part of its UAP stuff, have no need for extraordinary?

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Nope! (Un)Surprisingly, there are perfectly mundane possible explanations! We can't say for sure what it is, but there's no need for anything extraordinary.

(There are more videos on the subject on his channel if you want to see more.)

[-] paraphrand@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

People in the current administration are pandering to people like yourself trying to gather supporters. That’s all she is doing, along with others like Tim Burchett.

None of this invalidates UFOs.

[-] nodiratime@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Well, since rules don't matter anymore, maybe the next dem led gov (if it ever comes) should ignore them all, too.

[-] AlternatePersonMan@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Yes, let's worry about an issue effecting like .01% of most people's lives rather than healthcare, political corruption, government surveillance, inflation, or 1,000 other critical problems. Outstanding candidate.

[-] fonix232@fedia.io 10 points 2 days ago

The goal is always to be evil. Why would they be helping the average people when they can be evil to a minority to the point where there's a visible uptick of suicides in the wake of the policies they make?

On the subject of focusing on the wrong thing, affecting.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 1 points 2 days ago

Well akshually it's estimated that 1% of Americans identify as trans.

[-] decolo@piefed.social 6 points 2 days ago

I guess getting those tattoos wasn't enough to fix her
