Summary
During a House Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) repeatedly shouted an anti-trans slur despite objections from Democratic Rep. Gerald Connolly.
She defended her remarks by attacking transgender rights and dismissing criticism.
The outburst drew condemnation from LGBTQ+ advocates and political figures, highlighting her shift from previously supporting LGBTQ+ rights to embracing anti-trans rhetoric.
Mace has used the slur in past statements and introduced legislation restricting transgender rights.
Unless you’re trans, that isn’t your call to make. You don’t get to decide that it’s ok for people other than yourself to be exposed to slurs. Stay in your own lane.
But I’m just sitting here, genuinely wondering what the slur is she used, because I have no idea. I’m not well versed in trans slurs. Idk, news reporting should at least give me some way to find out… Like a spoiler tag to click on. Just… something.
It was tranny bro. It’s not that hard to figure out you could have just googled it and figured it out lol
Two of my children have trans boyfriends, and I am not advocating for us to go around insulting people with slurs. My comment was why are reporting sluring words. We should know what the bitch said. It’s Congress we have right to know what they are saying and doing. Parts of lemmy seem to be turning into reddit. Next they ban people for speaking against fucking nazis or saying to punch a fucking nazi.
Cool, ask them how they feel about this
I did they didn’t know it was slur, but fuck they do now. See if you give a word power then it does what you attended. Why do you think the black community use the N word the way they do. It takes the power away from the word.
It words the old saying stick and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. It’s powerful slogan, that I guess in today’s age isn’t used.
