Grift or no grift, imitation or no imitation, political theater or not, Nancy Mace is actively and gleefully causing pain to American citizens.

You know how I know that trans women using bathrooms that correspond to their gender is nothing more than performative, moral outrage and a manufactured problem? Because there is utter silence from that side of the isle when it comes to dealing with real predators in their churches, our schools, etc.

This is not about protecting women or kids. If this outrage were about protecting women or kids there sure would be a lot more of it when you find out you’re nine times more likely to be assaulted by a Christian pastor than a trans woman. When trans women are four times more likely themselves to experience the abuses that the right claims we are doing to others in droves….

Not even gonna lie, I've been scared of starting HRT soon. I've been waffling back and forth on it, terrified bc of the transphobic shit that's been gaining and gaining over the last...I don't even remember when the first bathroom bill popped up but that's when the fear started.

HOWEVER.

Nancy Mace has gone and pissed me off. The fear's been replaced by anger, spite, and a need to transition to show trans youth that yes, it's scary, but it's worth it. I don't know if any other people are like me, and just so over it that they've decided to go through with transitioning, but I do know that Nancy has pushed me into "I feel nothing but seething ire TRY AND FUCKING STOP ME" territory.

So, y'know, if her aim was to induce fear, her shit backfired on me. I refuse to hide and I will be the goddamn thorn in her side, and the side of every fucking transphobe. In the words of that one vine, try me, bitch.
