Nancy Mace Republican
“I do not want transgender people serving in our military, and I do not want the military spending money on sex change procedures. That money should be used to get our troops ready to fight.”
“If you think your kid is trans and you are the parent, your kid needs to be taken out of your household. It is insane to think--you are hearing these stories this week in the news how somebody’s 2-year- old knew that, when they were born a girl, they are actually a boy and all this craziness. Children have creative imaginations. They imagine that they might be a monkey. That doesn’t mean you feed them bananas and leave them in a jungle because they think they are Curious George. It is insane. This is a mental health crisis. Anyone who is mentally ill should not be serving in our military, and they absolutely should not be serving in combat. Every dollar spent by the Department of War on chemical and surgical sex change procedures is a dollar not spent on preparing the readiness of America’s warfighter. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.”
