In a discussion with a psychologist recently, he observed that many of GC women have issues with their own womanhood, either they have gender identity issues, or they've physical appearance ones...or both.
Classic examples include JKR (probably both), Sharron Davies (looks), Megan McArdle (looks, being constantly misgendered) ..and Mace is clearly in that category too.
That is a fascinating display of how being a pick-me for the GCs instantly also makes you a target of their gender policing. Like the second anyone goes to bat for them they get transvestigated on twitter. The internalized misogyny on display by Mace though....
A psych I had a conversation with made the good point that some of the most virulent anti trans cis women had issues with their own gender identity and/or masculine traits in their appearance.
Very: 'I am a real woman because I hate trans women'.
Oddly similar to 'I am a real straight man because
I have to say, if I had never seen either of their pictures before, I'd know that the left one was the right-wing transphobe publicity hound anyways. Nothing to do with face shape or earrings (???) oranything like that; it's just because she's the one with the creepy stare and fake grin.
I would like to be nearby the time Nancy Mace goes into the Ladies', in Congress, followed by a muscle-bound, bearded trans man with neck tattoos who was forced to use that washroom by Mace's bigoted rule...
Just to hear her reaction.
THIS IS WHAT I KEEP SAYING! Alas, it seems sexual harassment laws don’t cover members of Congress? Instead they have to file a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics to initiate an investigation. Which seems really creepy and weird to me!
it just shows how literally nothing is enough for these people. She chose to disclose these personal details about her life and not only did it not protect her or change these people's minds, they will pretend otherwise to hurt her. I'm sure she gets anon abuse weaponizing her surgery anyway
yep. My position is that I am disappointed in her, but there are about 430 representatives more deserving of my anger on this issue. Cis dems who could have stood up for her with much less personal & political consequence, the GOP for doing all this in the first place.
Between Marge's pics of Hunter Biden, Trump talking about Arnold Palmer, and Nancy Mace, I suspect the entire Republican party is completely obsessed with penises.

Which we've all seen far too often...then they're outed.
Mace probably got teased, bullied, etc all her life for her masculine appearance traits.
Just to hear her reaction.
She's engaged in a sustained, consistent, sexual harassment campaign.
For all we know, Sarah's had bottom surgery.
They would almost immediately demand that as a condition for their bullshit.
She’s (hopefully) trying to do the least amount of harm and chose poorly (IMO).
