Nancy Mace Introduces Bill That Would Ban Trans Colleagues From Congressional Gymnastics Team
WASHINGTON—With widespread support from her Republican colleagues, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced a bill Friday that would ban transgender lawmakers from the congressional gymnastics team. “I don’t care how good their bar routine is—no trans lawmaker will ever step on this mat,” Mace said in support of the two-page resolution aimed at preventing incoming Delaware Democrat Sarah McBride from competing as a member of the elite congressional women’s gymnastics team, known as the House Stars Elite. “We’re going up against the Senate Stripes this year, and we’re going to win, fair and square. If any trans legislator wants to participate in gymnastics, they’ll just have to join the gym across the street.” Reached for comment, a baffled McBride responded by stating that she had never expressed interest in gymnastics.
