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.
Slurs are different and similarly not allowed on lemmy.
You aren’t Lemmy. You are an instance of Lemmy, and do not speak for everyone.
You are correct, I should have specified lemmy.world, but we aren’t the only instance that removes slurs.
