Nancy Mace Republican
“Giving testosterone to male soldiers is not gender-affirming care. We need strong, tough fighters in combat, not sex-change surgeries.”
“Mr. Chair, testosterone treatment for men serving in our military isn’t gender-affirming care. We want the most masculine, the most muscular, the toughest warfighters in the world because they are in the trenches. They are doing combat. They are the ones who are putting their lives on the line. The idea that chopping someone’s penis off is risking military readiness is ludicrous. We are talking about mentally ill men that think having a menstrual cycle means bleeding out of your rectum. That is how crazy and insane this conversation is. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.”
