Nancy Mace recently shut down Adam Kinzinger’s claims that the Republican party is against transgender people by stating that she believes transgender people should be able to use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity. Mace also said that she believes the government should not be involved in regulating transgender people’s bathroom use. Kinzinger, a Republican from Illinois, had previously criticized Mace for her stance on transgender issues, and the two have traded barbs over the issue in recent weeks. Mace’s comments are the latest salvo in a larger debate about transgender rights, which has become increasingly contentious in recent years.
