Trans activist confronts Rep. Nancy Mace in response to her anti-trans bathroom rhetoric

Evan Greer, a transgender digital rights activist, confronted Rep. Nancy Mace at a public event following Mace’s resolution to ban transgender women from using women’s bathrooms in the U.S. Capitol. Greer displayed an LGBTQ pride flag and called out Mace for spreading hate and lies leading to violence against the transgender community. Mace responded by misgendering Greer and making offensive comments about her genitals, which drew complaints from the audience. Despite this, Project Liberty, the organization hosting the event, has not addressed the incident. Greer hoped her protest would spark a conversation about tech policy and human rights. Mace, who initially claimed to support LGBTQ rights, has recently led an anti-transgender campaign against Congresswoman Sarah McBride. McBride, the only trans member of Congress, has been repeatedly misgendered by Mace and will be subject to new bathroom rules in the Capitol. Greer’s actions aimed to challenge the tech policy community to stand against those who oppose human rights and spark a conversation about the future of internet freedom and inclusivity. The incident has received significant attention on social media and has prompted discussions about protecting the rights of the transgender community in the face of discrimination and hate.
