Connolly challenges Mace over usage of transgender slur

[Michie]

Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) called out Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) at a Wednesday hearing over her use of a transgender slur.

During the House Oversight and Government Reform hearing Wednesday, Connolly, the panel’s top Democrat, made an inquiry with Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) after remarks by Mace.

“The gentlelady has used a phrase that is considered a slur in the LGBTQ community and the trans community,” Connolly said.

It appeared Mace was trying to interject, and the Virginia Democrat asked to “finish without interruption.”

Mace interrupted, repeating the transgender slur.

The example Republicans have as their leader makes them think that rudeness and insults are the new normal.
Let's try to emulate Michelle Obama. When others go low, go high.

What insult did Mace use?

I just don't get it.

A slur is an insult. There are better ways to express oneself.
I try never to use slurs or bad language because my parents raised me to be better than that.

She said she didn't want male genitals (using a different word) in women's rooms.
I would consider that a slur.
And really, considering the dangerous inexoerience and perspectives of at least 4 cabinet members, this us what she worries about?
I just listened to "War" by Bob Woodward, and saw the exhaustive diplomacy Biden and Blinken engaged in behind the scenes in Ukraine and Israel. I tried to imagine Trump and Hegseth--and would challenge anyone to avoid a full-fledged panic attack imagining it.

I believe the slur was "[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]". Not her use of the medical term for male genitals.

I believe the slur was "[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]". Not her use of the technical term for male genitals.

Interesting, I always wondered what the [bless and do not curse] thing was. Apparently there are certain words tagged that don't show up. I think this is a good solution for CF to use, though I'm surprised the word she used is one of them. If you're real curious you'll just have to Google it for yourself.

Starts with a t ends with a y. Short for transgender.

Part of transgender is 50 ways to be offended.

Starts with a t ends with a y. Short for transgender.

Up until recently before the world plunged into total nonsense insanity, it was short for an automobile transmission. "could you check my t****y fluid?".

People can make up and pretend that any word is a slur. I don't know what she said, but I know there are many words and even pronouns that "offend" them. There is no end to that.

True. Google it. Can’t post it here for whatever reason.
